amazing to be among journalists who
scooped awards considering how the
industry is male-dominated.

"Am very happy to be among the
winners of the 2021 MMA because
it's also good for me and my fellow
female colleagues to set the pace in a

encourage female journalists to come
on board so that we can tell our stories
as they are and it's high time women
are empowered to make a change.

"It was quite a remarkable moment
for me as it brought about recognition
on the efforts and hard work I
exhibited in informing the community.
I call upon the organizers of the MMA
to make it an ongoing culture so that
we can continue to honor journalists
and the media fraternity," said
Wandayi.

MMA chairperson, Wilie Mponda
said the award ceremony was held to
recognize journalistic excellence in the

"The Awards ceremony marks the
