During this year, we recognise our many extraordinary graduates by honouring the achievements of 50 alumni. We celebrated 10 of these honourees at the Grand Ball held during the April 2022 graduation ceremonies at Rhodes University in Makhanda.  The remaining  40 will be acknowledged later this year, in alumni events hosted by the Rhodes University Communications Division in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban. Below are the first 10 who represent a mix of those early students who shaped the journalism of the 70s and 80s and more recent graduates who in their short careers have already made their mark.
