Join us as we honour the remarkable life and legacy of Tshidi Madia (23 August 1983 – 27 August 2025), beloved political journalist and Associate Editor: Politics at Eyewitness News. Renowned for her fearless reporting, insightful analysis, and unwavering commitment to integrity, Tshidi was a trailblazer, a mentor to many and ‘the jewel in EWN’s crown,’ as described by Editor-in-Chief Nisa Allie.
More than a journalist, Tshidi was warm, fiercely loyal, and deeply caring. Colleagues remember her as ‘feisty, fun, and fiery,’ someone whose laughter and light filled every room – even while holding power to account .
Her passing on 27 August 2025 after a brief illness shocked the nation. Today’s stream is not just a farewell but a celebration of a life that shone brightly and inspired deeply.
