The Huawei Joburg Day in the Park was attended by scores of people from all walks of life, most of whom are fans and listeners of Gauteng’s biggest commercial radio station, 947.
Thando Makhunga, 947 Station Manager said the event brought all corners of Joburg together in a beautiful space to share special moments with their favourite artists.
“For 947 the partnership with a global brand like Huawei enables us to support and celebrate the great story of South African music. 947 Supports several major music events in Joburg and will continue to bring listeners closer to the music and artists they love,” said Makhunga.
Akhram Mohammed, Huawei SA Chief Technology Officer said Huawei Joburg Day in the Park was a truly South African concert.
South Africa is one of Huawei's fastest growing markets in the world; the annual festival was part of the telecommunication company's strategy to reward its clientele.
Akhram said mobile brands were about connecting people and music does it in the best possible way. “Irrespective of language or beat, people connect to music and that’s why it is important for Huawei to be a part of events like this," he said, adding that the cellphone maker was looking forward to many more music events.
