The Nat Nakasa Award recognises bravery in journalism, work that speaks truth to power, confronts wrongdoing and places the public interest above personal comfort.
For many years, Edwin Naidu has demonstrated these qualities through his reporting on education, exposing wrongdoing and informing the public on policies that affect society.
His recent investigations into corruption and maladministration at UNISA further reflect his integrity, courage and commitment to the truth.
We proudly announce Edwin Naidu as the winner of the Nat Nakasa Award 2026, honouring his fearless reporting and lasting contribution to public-interest journalism.
