The Gauteng Sports Awards took place this past Sunday, October 11th, with some sports broadcasters winning big.
Like I predicted, Thomas Mlambo's Sports@10 won the Sports Programme of the Year category, beating out Thursday Night Live with Marawa (Supersport), The Sports Network with Andrew Hope (University of Johannesburg) and GameOn! (ANN7). Sport@10 was created a few years ago as Mlambo's own project, airing initially on a Thursday night before seeing the format refined to its now award winnng state and moved to Wednesday.
Mahreen Chenia of ANN7 took home the award of Sports Journalist of the Year, beating Mlambo and Thabiso Mosia (Power FM). Over the last day she has taken to to Twitter to thank all those that supported her. Despite hosting the least watched/listened to sprts show in the category, 'GameOn!' and Chenia have consistently been called one of the best sports shows around, which has now been confirmed by the award.
With so many ANN7 talents leaving the channel as soon as something better comes along, how long do you think it will be before Mahreen Chenia is snapped up by one of the bigger broadcasters?
