Statement: SANEF mourns the passing of Independent Media journalist, Baldwin Ndaba

25 May 2026

The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) mourns the untimely passing of journalist Baldwin Ndaba on Friday, a man whose reporting helped shape public accountability journalism in democratic South Africa.

The country’s media fraternity has lost one of its finest reporters, a journalist who understood both the craft and the calling of journalism with uncommon depth and humility.

Veteran journalist Jovial Rantao described Baldwin as a “brilliant cut rough stone”.

There is a particular poetic justice in the fact that Baldwin Ndaba learned his craft in Kimberley, a city built on the violent beauty of diamonds, where something rough and unremarkable is hauled from the earth, cut with precision, and revealed as extraordinary. That is exactly what happened to Baldwin.
