MTN JOYOUS CELEBRATION

South Africa’s number one gospel music ensemble Joyous Celebration celebrates 15 years of praise with its current six city national tour.

Titled My Gift to You, the 2011 Joyous Celebration tour is sure to get believers and worshippers begging for more. The concerts will feature a wide spectrum of songs delivered in vernacular languages as well as English and Afrikaans.

With this tour, Joyous Celebration also proudly announces its new sponsor MTN who will take them through the national celebration of My Gift To You.

“We are truly blessed to have MTN on board as our sponsor this year,” says Jabu Hlongwane, founding member of the gospel ensemble. “We feel that the partnership with MTN will help realise our collective vision and dream for this year’s celebrations.”

For Serame Taukobong, chief marketing officer of MTN SA, the sponsorship is a joyful reunion with an iconic South Africa musical talent. “We are delighted to be reconnecting with Joyous Celebration as its headline sponsor,” he says. “Our focus on supporting and developing various local musical genres within the South African industry has been strengthened with this sponsorship. We are looking forward to partnering with this hugely popular gospel ensemble as it spreads its joyous brand of music across the country. Using our MTN Play platform, we will promote the MTN Joyous Celebration sound to our customer base, while growing the MTN brand among a new fan base.”

My Gift To You has one performance at the ICC Arena in Durban on July 30 before moving on to the last stop of the tour in Bloemfontein in August.
