Ahead
of hugely anticipated Fill Up Peter Mokaba Stadium next April
Xitsonga Music sensation Benny Mayengani announced German motor
giants VW and Audi as sponsors with Motsepe Foundation sponsorship
confirmation expected soon.
Businessman and event manager, Howard
Mashaba, has called on all people to buy tickets to attend another
big entertainment event in Limpopo.
In 2018, Mayengani shocked the
country when filled Giyani Stadium with over 30 thousand people
attending the event.
The President as Mayengani is affectionately
known took to facebook to announce Red Square, VW Polokwane, Audi
Polokwane, Limpopo Department of Arts and Culture, Marble Gold Group,
Park Inn, MasterCars, Momes Place, Xinti Travel Tours, Marsana Food
Distributors, Kulungwani Accountant, D Ndlovu Trading, ZAR Prestige,
Humpkuli Auto, Bayport, TPN Holdings, B Rikhotso Attorneys and
Xilumani Coaches as headline sponsors. “We have agreed with them
(Motsepe Foundation) it is only that they have not yet given us the
confirmation letter of sponsorship but everything is going well. It
is growth for Xilumani Brand and Benny Mayengani as an artist. We are
very proud about the sponsorships.
"It also grows our nation because
this event is not for Mayengani alone it is for the Changani nation
as whole. It is obvious that we are going to fill up Peter Mokaba
because if we have these sponsors and the public are buying tickets
that can tell you that we will indeed fill the stadium. It is a must
that we fill it. We are expecting 42 thousand people as this is the
full capacity of the stadium,” he said. Xilumani Coaches owner has
assured fans and supporters of tight protection next month.
"This
after last year at Giyani Stadium at least two people died, one
inside the stadium and the other died outside the stadium during the
festival. The one who died inside the stadium was stabbed to death to
small scuffle during performance by artist. Howver Mashaba is
vehement that no deaths will never happened again and promised the
people of a safer but most exciting festival. “Our plan this time
around at Peter Mokaba will not be the same as the previous time at
Giyani Stadium. We have a company that will be using cameras to make
sure things that happened in Giyani never happen again. One thing we
need to do is to unite and make sure this event takes place to show
other groups that we are also able pull big events,” Mashaba
reiterated.
Mayengani, who is an Economic Freedom Fighters councillor,
generated millions of rand at the Fill Up Giyani Stadium and hopes to
make more money next month. “Yes he made money it was handsome
money. More than 15 million rand was generated including sponsors. He
is a millionaire there are no questions about that,” Mashaba said.
