Five bold women, one HOT newsroom
We’re beaming with pride at HOT 1027 as five remarkable women from our news team have been nominated for the 2025 Woman of Stature Awards in the “Women in Media and Journalism” category.
A Historic Milestone for HOT 1027 News
A huge congratulations to Bunny Majaja, Tara Penny, Natasha Thorp, Christa Eybers, and Mathapelo Moloi on this prestigious recognition.
This moment is truly historic — it’s the first time that five members from a single newsroom have been nominated in this category, and we’re honoured to celebrate this milestone.
“ This is a testament to the incredible work being produced on a daily basis by the HOT 1027 News team, and it’s even more amazing when you consider the station is only three years old!” said Charlotte du Plessis, CEO and Founder of the awards.

The Woman of Stature Awards shine a spotlight on excellence, leadership, and resilience across all professional sectors in South Africa. As the awards mark their 10th anniversary this weekend, we’ll be cheering loudly for our brilliant nominees.
Your passion and professionalism continue to inspire us all.
