Local retailer scoops up R1 million at MTN App of the Year Awards 2022
Between the plumes of pyrotechnic fire, hard-bodied dancers and gourmet-style dining, the stars of the show were the apps and their developers who battled for supremacy across 17 categories, including Best South African Solution, Best Gaming, Best Health, Best Enterprise, Best Agriculture, Best Educational, Most Innovative and finally the top prize: App of the Year. The winner of this prize was given R1 million by MTN.
The event started with a bang as impi drummers ushered the audience into a video package ending with MTN’s message for South Africa, directly from the mouth of MTN SA CEO Charles Molapisi – “One household, one developer.” Midway through the event, Molapisi appeared before the crowd and gave an impassioned speech.
MTN SA CEO Charles Molapisi says we need to reflect on the challenges that affect South Africa. Starting with the unemployed and unskilled. Loitering the streets with no hope.The plainly dressed executive was adamant that South Africa’s woes could be fixed through upskilling the country’s youth. He said this was MTN’s mission.
"Change no longer happens in the buildings, but on the streets," says Molapisi. He says he's tired of bad news and change needs to happen.
