CNN Multichoice Africa winner: I lost my job but found myself

Evelyn Watta is the 2014 CNN Multichoice Africa Journalist of the Year in sports. She has over 10 years of experience as a broadcast journalist. Evelyn’s star almost dimmed when she lost her job at a local media house in 2009. It was also the time her mother was involved in a road accident. Losing her job turned out to be a great opportunity as switching from broadcast journalism to print finally paid off this year when she won the CNN award. She spoke to Cate Mukei about struggling with her mother’s accident and landing her dream job.
