2014 Citi Journalistic Excellence Award goes to Zeenat Moorad

South Africa's premier financial journalism award, the 2014 Citi Journalistic Excellence Awards, attracted 15 top class entrants from around South Africa. Business Day senior retail and consumer markets correspondent, Zeenat Moorad, has won it.

Her winning article, entitled 'Check Mate' was published in the 27 June - 2 July edition of the business weekly magazine, Financial Mail. In it, Moorad unpacks a drawn out campaign by Woolworths to buy Australian retail chain David Jones and the efforts by retail Magnate Solomon Lew to block the deal.

In June 2015, she will join business and financial journalists from around the world in New York City at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, where they will have an opportunity to meet and speak with global leaders in the fields of finance, business, journalism and government.
