On behalf of our entire team, I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you again for hosting our graduation ceremony. It was a wonderful success, and our girls and their guardians had a truly incredible time! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I look forward to a long relationship between Chavonnes Battery Museum and The Justice Desk!

Thousands of visitors to the V&A Waterfront have seen the huge Cannons mounted on immense gun-carriages on the Ramparts and at the entrance of the Chavonnes Battery Museum, but hitherto few have known anything about their history.

These seven cannons are part of the largest selection of Muzzle Loading Cannons and inside the Museum are fascinating models and detailed displays and exhibits and Cannons that still fire a shot of black power.

Being shot with rubber bullets during a protest. Sleeping high up in the mountain to photograph fires. These are some of the experiences that helped Cape Town-based photographer Justin Sullivan, 27, to win two awards in the prestigious 2018 Andrei Stenin International Press Photo Contest.

Altogether 67 images of the competition's 22 award-winners are on the Stenin Press Photo Exhibition at the Chavonnes Battery Museum at the Waterfront until February. They were chosen from 6 000 entrants.

TITLE: I could hear leopard crying in pain after it was shot
CATEGORY: Stenin Press Photo Contest: TOP NEWS 3rd Place

PHOTOJOURNALIST Ajay Kumar received an early morning call to say a wild leopard had been spotted near houses in Lucknow, India. When he arrived at the scene, he followed a crowd of people, including police officers, who chased the animal until it was cornered in a house. When a police officer fired at the leopard, Kumar captured the moment, which won him the third prize in the hard news category of the prestigious Andrei Stenin International Press Photo Contest. This remarkable image is one of 67 of the contest's award-winning pictures on exhibition at the Chavonnes Battery Museum in the Waterfront until February.
