Cape Town - South African Airways (SAA) said on Wednesday that the airline's in-flight magazine, Sawubona, had been named Africa's leading in-flight magazine for the second year in a row.
The award, made at the World Travel Awards in Zanzibar, Tanzania, this past weekend, was received by Ndalo Media, publishers of the magazine.
World Travel Awards are voted for by travel and tourism professionals worldwide. Ingrid Wood, editor of Sawubona, said: “We are super thrilled with this accolade, which we dedicate to the creative and hard-working teams at Ndalo Media and SAA group corporate affairs responsible for putting the magazine together.
“It's a pleasure and an honour to edit a proudly African brand that tells the story of Africa, the African way.”
Khanyi Dhlomo, chief executive of Ndalo Media, said winning the award for the second year running affirmed the company's positioning as a world-class publisher “that aims to positively impact lives through compelling and engaging content across various platforms”.
“We're also grateful to the SAA group corporate affairs team for their support and unwavering commitment to excellence. This award would not have been possible without them,” she said.
