15 public institutions that South African entrepreneurs can approach for funding

South African journalist Nabeelah Shaikh has passed away at the age of 34, leaving the journalism community in mourning. Shaikh, a multi-award-winning investigative reporter at eNCA, was known for her tenacity and bravery. She was the daughter of Zafarullah and Rashida Bibi Shaikh, wife of Waseem Ally, and mother of Maahira Shaikh.

Less than two weeks prior to her death, Shaikh announced her pregnancy with her second child. Her colleagues and friends remember her as a devoted mother, a dedicated journalist, and one of the kindest souls they have ever known. IOL CEO Viasen Soobramoney, former editor Akash Bramdeo, and anti-crime expert Yusuf Abramjee have all shared heartfelt condolences, remembering Shaikh's contributions to journalism and her warm, compassionate nature.
