I was honoured with the award of National Press Club photographer of the year on Friday 23 March 2012.
Below is my entry for the competition and according to the National Press Club Chairman Yusuf Abramjee the picture that stood out the most from all the entries was the picture of the policeman carrying the little girl from the building just before dark. Residents threw stones at police as well as bottles when they were being evicted. The children were rescued from the creche inside as parents weren't allowed into the building.
The rules for the competition were a portfolio of 5 images taken between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2011. They also had to have been published. Below is the image as well as newspaper page as published.
