Media personality and community activist Yusuf Abramjee has scooped yet another prestigious award.
Abramjee, the presenter of Crime Watch on etv and eNCA was presented with a Kudu Award 2023/2024 by South African National Parks (SANParks) on Thursday evening.
“Thank you to SANParks for presenting me with the Kudu Award in the category: Media Contribution to Conservation and Eco-Tourism.
“It is an incredible honor to be recognized yet again. In 2022, we received the award for the in-depth Crime Watch show around rhino and elephant poaching.”
Abramjee said he was truly humbled to receive this distinction again - for, according to SANParks, “the outstanding
effort dedicated to covering stories about conservation and safety and security in
Table Mountain National Park and Kruger National Park.”
Abramjee added: “This award is not only a reflection of my efforts but also the support and collaboration of many who share a commitment to conservation and the preservation of our natural heritage.
“I dedicate this award to all those working tirelessly to protect and nurture our environment for future generations and to my team at #
Crime Watch on etv and eNCA.
“I am deeply appreciative of this accolade. It motivates me to continue contributing towards the conservation and preservation of our natural heritage,” said Abramjee.
Last month, Abramjee received the Sponsors of Brave Media Award for the 4th consecutive year.
Abramjee received dozens of awards and recognitions in his career - from a National Order for Community Service by the Government (Order of Baobab Silver), the highest honour awarded to a civilian, to leadership awards.
He was named Security Personality of the Year and received a number Crime Stoppers International Awards. He was also named Journalist of the Year for a number of years and is also the recipient of other Media Awards and community recognitions.
