The Best of Joburg Awards celebrate the people, places and brands that South Africans adore, with winners chosen entirely by public vote. It's a celebration of excellence, connection and the standout names that define the heartbeat of the city, says the radio station.
Voting is open until midnight on Sunday, 17 August, and those who vote stand the chance to win some amazing prizes, including a R20 000 SPAR voucher for groceries and gourmet treats, a year's worth of wine from Spier (12 cases), a R10 000 Exclusive Books voucher, a luxury Guinot skincare hamper plus anti-ageing treatments worth R13 800, and a "Year of Living the Best of Joburg" — 12 incredible experiences from cooking classes and theatre tickets to spa days, gourmet dining, hotel stays, padel coaching, makeovers and more, says the radio station.
The nominations come on the back of a successful year for 5FM: from bringing global superstar, Tyla, to surprise a Saint Stithians learner at his matric dance, and giving away a fully furnished R1-million apartment with Balwin Properties, to partnering with multinational brands, helping pack well over one million meals on Mandela Day and partnering with pop culture phenomenon Comic Con Africa. 5FM also delivered a packed Zee Nation tour that took SA by storm, adds the radio station.
"5FM is more than just a radio station, we are the central, multimedia connection and empowerment point for everything youth in Mzansi," concludes Masi Mdingane, 5FM Business Manager. "From our FM frequency to our streaming platforms, social channels and live events, we don't just reach young South Africans, we move them. Our brave and bold line-up, headlining stories and stunts, power partnerships, our epic events and these nominations reflect the passion, energy and commitment we put into creating unforgettable moments and solid results, 'Ampli5'ed'."
