Awards

The Daily Maverick is known for its investigation of the Gupta Leaks, which won the 2019 Global Shining Light Award alongside Rappler.

That investigation was credited with exposing the Indian-born Gupta family and former President Jacob Zuma for their role in the systemic political corruption referred to as state capture. In 2018, Brkic received the Nat Nakasa Award for his role in the investigation. In 2021, Charalambous also received the award.^[2]
