14 REMEMBERED... The late Madikane Jelu’s elder brother Siphiwo and Grocott’s Mail news editor Luvuyo Mjekula shake hands after a successful exhibition of the late freelance photographer’s work. Photo: Steven Lang Remembering a gifted journalist Maria Sibiya “He was humbled, passionate about his work and a watch dog to his government,” said exhibition coordinator Nqobile Buthelezi, while referring to the late Madikane “Madiks” Jelu at a memorial exhibition of his work at Eden Grove on Tuesday. Jelu passed away earlier this year after contracting pneumonia, leaving behind his family, countless friends and many members of the community who relied on his insatiable curiosity and concern about their lives. Jelu worked as a freelance photographer providing material for publications such as Grocott’s Mail, Daily Sun, Sowetan, Daily Dispatch and Die Son. Journalists and media practitioners from the continent who attended the Highway Africa conference last week gathered to view some of his work and learn about his perseverance in the media industry. The exhibition included photographs, tributes and articles as well as poems dedicated to the local legend. Luvuyo Mjekula the news editor at Grocott’s Mail, shared his experiences and anecdotes of the six years they spent together as colleagues. He praised him for his good journalistic character. “As a journalist, he was forward and he was always where the action was,” he said. He also referred to Madikane as a “perfect journalist” in the sense that he although he was not trained as journalist, his journalistic instincts were spot on. Mjekula said Jelu, was known in his community as Madiks or Mr Paparazzi and knew people from varying social backgrounds including government and court officials. Moagisi Lethlaku who represented Highway Africa, shared that the exhibition was a promise made to Jelu Win fantastic prizes in our new MMS competition: ONLY IN GRAHAMSTOWN! Weekly winners will be announced every Friday in Grocott’s Mail (and their winning photo published), and winners will receive a R50 airtime voucher. The grand prize - a digital camera - will be awarded later in the year. We’re looking for photos that depict something unique to Grahamstown. It can be a place, a person, an activity... let your imagnination loose! Send your MMSes (with captions/descriptions) to: 082 049 2146 www.grocotts.co.za before he passed away. “He kept reminding us that we have to display his work,” she said. Prof Guy Berger, who heads the School of Journalism and Media Studies at Rhodes University, urged journalists to learn from Jelu as he was uneducated but had what it takes to be a great journalist. “Although he was uneducated, he was still a hero of journalism,” said Berger. Jelu’s brother, Siphiwo then offered his gratitude on behalf of his family. “We appreciate all the kindness, we loved Madikane and he left with us with broken hearts,” he said. The Jelu family were presented with a gift, which was handed over to Siphiwo by the editor of Grocott’s Mail, Steven Lang. The photographs that were on show have been given to the Jelu family and some of the other material will be exhibited in the Grocott’s Mail building in High Street.

The corporate category was awarded to corporate groups for creative and appropriate adaptation of technologies all over Africa to com- pete effectively in the online environment. Grocott’s Mail online editor, Michael Salzwedel says: “One of the aims of Grocott’s online is to fully embrace the idea and practice of citizen journalism. Grocott’s Mail online does this by providing an area, MyStory, on the website where anyone can submit their own content – words, photos or video clips. We also receives and publishes SMSes and MMSes from citizens.” On Tuesday, 8 September Grocott’s Mail online launched the Citizen Journalism Newsroom, where people who are not trained as journalists can submit their own content or be assisted in creating and publishing their own stories, pictures and video clips. “There should be a number of reasons why the judges recognise Grocott’s Mail online as the winners of the award, but using Grocott’s Mail online to actively encourage citizen journalism, and thereby giving a platform to all the people of Grahamstown to express their voices about issues that matter to them and their communities must be an outstanding reason why the judges saw it that Grocott’s Mail online deserves the 2009 SABC Highway Africa New Media Awards,” said Salzwedel. “Grocott’s Mail online in its new form is still very young – it was only launched on 2 July – so we’re very chuffed to have received such a significant pat on the back so early on.” Salzwedel said: “It will hopefully act as a catalyst and take the site from strength to strength. I’m hoping that winning this award will help to grow Grocott’s online as a powerful platform that the people of Grahamstown can use to inform and be informed”. Grocott’s Mail online does not only offer news in story form, but also includes picture galleries and video clips.
