The award, which celebrates the best of financial journalism in Africa, is jointly sponsored by Sanlam and Santam.
Chair of the independent judging panel, Nixon Kariithi, said: “The quality of entries remains high. It has been most encouraging to see both the high number of entries as well as the complex and topical stories spotlighted by financial journalists across the African continent.”
