Delegates of the Sanlam Summer School for Financial Journalism

In a demonstration of their commitment to promoting financial literacy and empowering young journalists, Zimnat and Sanlam have partnered to send two young journalists from The Herald, Enacy Mapakame and Tapiwanashe Mangwiro, to the week-long Sanlam Summer School for Financial Journalism which is running from the 22nd  up to the 27th of October 2023.

This award comes as Zimnat and Sanlam further showcase the strength of their association, particularly at a time when Sanlam has recently announced a new joint venture with Allianz to further reinforce its position as the largest non-banking financial service group in Africa.

The Sanlam Summer School for Financial Journalism is a prestigious program that equips journalists with the skills and knowledge necessary to report accurately and effectively on financial matters. The program covers various topics, including financial markets, economics, and corporate finance.

Mapakame and Mangwiro were selected for the award based on their demonstrated commitment to financial journalism and their potential to make a significant contribution to the field.

"We are delighted to be partnering with Sanlam to send these two talented journalists to the 20th Edition of the Sanlam Summer School for Financial Journalism," said Zimnat Group Marketing Executive. "This program will provide them with the skills and knowledge they need to report on financial matters in an informative and engaging way for our readers."

"We are proud to be associated with Zimnat in supporting the development of young journalists," said Zimnat Group Marketing Executive, Tatenda Marongwe. "The Sanlam Summer School for Financial Journalism is a unique program that will help these journalists to become leaders in the field of financial journalism."

The learnings of this training will be critical to more astute financial news reporting at such times. With Sanlam's recent announcement of a new joint venture with Allianz, the economic landscape in Africa is set to undergo significant changes.
