Past Winners
Established in 2011, the Responsible Drinking Media Awards have grown exponentially from year to year. Past winners include some of South Africa's most notorious journalists but also some of South Africa’s lesser known ones. This is because the RDMAs have been structured in such a way so as to recognise ALL journalists - from the smallest community newspaper to the largest television broadcaster. Below is a brief history of our past winners.
