Telkom, which is known for providing quality wireless communication services to businesses and private clients, comes onto the DMVCA project to support in activations and voting. Everyone watching the DMVCA action can look out for exciting prizes from Telkom throughout the campaign. 

Speaking on the partnership between Mzansi Magic and Telkom, Shirley Adonisi (Director of Local Entertainment Channels for MultiChoice) said, “We could not have imagined a more exciting partner for the DStv Mzansi Viewers’ Choice Awards campaign. With Telkom by our side, we will be able to give our valued subscribers an unforgettable experience.”

"We are honoured and thrilled to announce our partnership with DStv as the headline sponsor for the 2022 Mzansi Viewers’ Choice Awards in celebrating South Africa's best talent. As a brand that believes in leaving no man behind and connecting ordinary South Africans to do what they love through our offerings, what better way to connect them with their favourite entertainers through a celebration of this nature,"said Mooketsi Mocumi, Executive Group Communication at Telkom.

“The formation of this partnership was very intentional, with a solid strategy to elevate South African talent as voted by the communities and fans at home, which is paramount for Telkom as we continue to evolve in the lifestyle space. We wish everyone that has been nominated for the awards all the best, and we can't wait to celebrate with them.” added Mocumi

The announcement adds to the anticipation for this fourth instalment of the popular awards show, which is returning to the Sun Arena in Pretoria and to Mzansi Magic (DStv Ch 161) on 25 June 2022.

We are pleased to also have Diageo come on board for the first time this year, leading with the iconic spirit brand Tanqueray. The interest shown by our various partners is a sign that the awards have grown even after the pandemic. We hope to see these partnerships further blossom in future

Name a better duo!”, said Sasa Moloi – Head of Media at Diageo South Africa
