Debswana is thrilled to announce that through the Corporate Affairs Department we have been, yet again, recognised by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) with two Gold Quill Awards. This follows our successful submission of two entries on the Jwaneng Mine Triple Zero Safety Campaign which won an Excellence Award, and the Debswana COVID-19 Communication Response Plan which won a Merit Award.
The Triple Zero Relay campaign started in April 2018 with the aim of running until December 2021, in line with our vision of ABSOLUTE ZERO HARM. The Triple Zero campaign is aligned to the Debswana Value of
“Put Safety First” and the main aim of the campaign was to drive a collective application of individual effort to achieve a shared objective. It also aimed to improve the level of commitment, morale and positive attitude amongst employees in order to jointly work towards a safe working environment.

On Dec. 23, The Press Club of Western Pennsylvania opened applications for its 15th annual Bob Fryer Memorial Scholarship.
Named after Bob Fryer, long-time editor of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review who passed away in 2011, the purpose of the scholarship is to encourage students who are as passionate about journalism as he was. For Bob, journalism was his life, Luis Fabregas, an investigative reporter, said when asked about Fryer by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The newsroom was his life.
In order to qualify for the scholarship, students must be residents of one of the 29 counties of Western Pennsylvania; however, they do not have to attend college in the area. When Ellie Hartleb was awarded the scholarship in 2017, she attended the American University in Washington D.C. However, she was still eligible due to her primary residence being in Erie.
