30 April 2025- The Moral Regeneration Movement (MRM) in the North West on Wednesday congratulated its Provincial Interim Committee member, Ananias Ndlovu who was awarded the Influential Man of the Year Award by Big M Productions over the past weekend. Ndlovu was awarded the prestigious award at the Big M Production’s 2025 Annual edition in recognition of the work he does for community media at the awards held on Sunday at the Lyric Theatre, Gold Reef City in Johannesburg.
Convenor of the MRM Interim Committee, Pastor Lesiba Kgwele said the selfless contribution of seasoned journalists of Ndlovu’s calibre to the national effort to restore the moral fibre of society, while also being among the best in the media industry is inspirational. Kgwele said Ndlovu’s unyielding commitment to community building through responsible journalism and a deep sense of patriotism, defines the invaluable contribution he is making towards nation building through promoting the MRM’s Charter of Positive Values.
“Ndlovu, who is a member of the National Press Club, founder of the North West Press Club, the North West Media Awards (NWMA), as well Naledi Community Newspaper Publisher, was recruited in 2023 to be part of MRM because of his innovation, creativity, passion to serve including commitment to community building and exceptional leadership qualities.
“He is a trendsetter and a pioneer who has not disappointed ever since and continues to fly the MRM flag as a volunteer and the Head of the MRM North West Interim Committee Sub Committee on Media, Communication, Branding and Marketing,” he underscored.
Kgwele further said the “Top 100 influential Men” is part of Big M Productions’ broader National Influential Men & Artes Awards, which honours both men and creatives who are shaping South Africa’s cultural and professional landscape.
