Reporter Slam Africa 2025

The most entertaining live format for journalists is coming to Africa again. Our second edition of the Reporter Slam will take place this year in Lagos, Nigeria.

On 22 May, Lagos, Nigeria, will be the stage for Reporter Slam Africa 2025. Six Journalists from Sub-Saharan Africa will compete in a lively showdown, offering the audience a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their work as journalists. The slammers are challenged to present their stories in a unique and creative way. The journalist whose story appeals the most to the public will be named the Slammer of 2025!

Details

Following the success of the first edition – last year in Cape Town –, Reporter Slam Africa returns in 2025, once again bringing together six journalists from diverse backgrounds to showcase their storytelling skills. Since last year's winning slammer, Melony Ishola, hails from Nigeria, this year's event will take place in her hometown, the city of Lagos. Each slammer will have ten minutes on stage to capture the audience with their research, blending information with entertaining storytelling. In addition to the on-site audience who will vote for their favourite performance, a live stream will also allow viewers worldwide to join in selecting the Slam Campion.

 

Our Slammers:

1. Margaret Osazuwa, Nigeria

2. Seth Joseph Bokpe, Ghana

3. Albert Karim Traore, Mali

4. Kgaugelo Masweneng, South Africa

5. Thomas Mukhwana, Kenya

6. Yaddah Wanjiku Nduati, Uganda
