I’m thrilled to be here at the African Investigative Journalism Conference at Wits University this morning! Today I’ll be listening to a panel hosted by Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who is talking about the topic of his undercover journalism work.

Thanks to Edward’s work, 34 boxes of medicine were recovered from the syndicate and 3 suspects were arrested. However, later on, 2 potential witnesses to the court case against the drug syndicate were poisoned and died.

In the aftermath, there has been some improvements to hospital security, but the legal case is still ongoing and has encountered its own issues.

Anas Aremeyaw Anas says going undercover is always the last line of journalism - the only option left when no other measures are resulting in evidence being found.

This has been a really heartwarming session, my takeaway is navigating investigative journalism as a woman need resilience, community support, and strategic planning. Hearing these powerful stories has encouraged me. I am inspired
