Lowveld Media excels at Caxton Awards 2016
It has become customary for Lowveld Media to shine at the annual Caxton Excellence Awards and the 2016 edition was no different.
MBOMBELA – The awards ceremony, held at the Silverstar Casino in Krugersdorp on Thursday night, was themed “Steampunk”, and once again proved Lowveld Media’s publications and employees continue to set the tone and blaze the trail against the other titles in the Caxton Group.
Lowvelder, Steelburger and Get it Lowveld were named runners-up in their categories, losing out to Zululand Observer as best sold newspaper, Brakpan Herald as free newspaper and Get it Joburg North.
A special award was given to Bruce Sturgeon, retired CEO of Caxton Group’s Local Newspapers. Having been an integral part in building the local newspaper division from a handful of titles of more than 120 countrywide, the largest local newspaper stable in South Africa.
Funnyman Riaad Moosa was hilarious as master of ceremonies for the evening. After all the formalities, Matthew Mole entertained the guests and Voltrex had them dancing into the early hours.
