Business student on the money

UCT student Salma Kagee (second from left in picture) obviously has a knack for the Nedbank Old Mutual Budget Speech Competition.

Just hours after delivering his budget speech on 22 February, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan named Kagee, a master' s student in economics, as the winner of the competition's postgraduate category for 2011.

Just a year ago, Kagee had collected the title as the top student in the 2010 undergraduate category, so with her latest win becoming the first student in the competition's 40 years to complete such a double.
