Henry Nxumalo Foundation

The Fund was set up in 2006 in Wits Journalism as the Taco Kuiper Fund, with the support of the Valley Trust. In 2019, it was renamed the Henry Nxumalo Fund after the legendary and courageous South African journalist who did groundbreaking undercover exposés for Drum Magazine in the 1950s, and was killed while doing his work. In 2021, it became an independent non-profit company working in partnership with Wits Journalism.
