The SABC's New York crew just picked up a gold medal at the UN Correspondents Awards for an interview they did with the top humanitarian guy at the United Nations. Sherwin Bryce-Pease and Aaron Berbrick got recognized for their September sit-down with Tom Fletcher, where he talked about aid workers getting emotionally wrecked and funding running dry for crises in Gaza, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Ricardo Ortega Memorial Prize went to them after judges decided their broadcast coverage stood out among global entries.

Fletcher broke down how dangerous the job gets for relief coordinators working conflict zones, and the team managed to make those struggles hit home for South African viewers. The award ceremony went down at UN Headquarters in Manhattan, with diplomats and Hollywood types filling the room while the winners represented the public broadcaster on an international stage. Minister Ronald Lamola threw praise their way for keeping the country informed about multilateral diplomacy and global developments.
