The Sanlam SA Fashion Journalism Awards, held to coincide with the annual Sanlam SA Fashion Week in Johannesburg on Friday, 29 August 2008, has seen Tamara Rothbart scoop her second win in the writing category, with Jenny Andrew taking first place in the visual fashion editing category. According to Sanlam's head: group marketing, Nandi Scorer, the company recognises the positive impact that a thriving fashion and clothing industry can have on the South African economy and in particular, on large-scale job creation. "Key to stimulating a recognition of and demand for locally produced design, is, however, the need to raise awareness of local talent by encouraging high calibre media coverage of our industry."
