About 55 journalists from a wide range of media submitted more than 100 entries for the different categories, which created a challenging task for the judging panel.
"The judging was particularly tough this year as the entries for the 2011 award were of an exceptional standard. The country's top investment and personal finance journalists delivered reports of high quality, providing consumers and investors with valuable information," said Citadel CEO, Neil Brown, at the award presentation hosted late last week in Johannesburg.
Hasenfuss' entries covered different topics, ranging from investments in penny stocks to investment in Rupert-controlled companies and what this delivered for investors, which secured him a win in the category 'Best feature'. His entries also included thought provoking columns about a range of investment topics.
