Thanks to our main Gala Awards sponsors, Total South Africa, Distell, and Zari Sparkling Grape, we were able to host a successful event that saw our independent panel of judges able to announce the winners and runners-up in 9 of 10 award categories. We also conferred the prestigious 2020 'Influencer of Influencers' Awards to Professor Patrick Lumumba, Dr Jon-Hans Coetzer, Ms Busisiwe Mavuso, and Dr Louise Van Rhyn. Africa Brand Summit Awards enable us to recognise the work of individuals and organisations who do good, despite some of the negativity we often experience.
The Africa Brand Summit is an annual event that underpins research on the current and evolving image/reputational status of Africa and a select key regional economic and political country drivers.
