Top 16 Youth-Owned Brands Awards 2022 honours diversity and the youth
Youth acknowledgment and support shown from award ceremony held at the The Capital on the Park in Sandton.
A full house of young innovative business creators and guests were welcomed to the first-ever Top 16 Youth-Owned Brands Awards.
The memorable event acknowledged and honoured a number of bright young business-minded individuals with awards. The ceremony was organised by Pat on Brands in partnership with Sakhumnotho Group Holdings and held at Capital on the Park in Sandton on June 15.
As stated by Lerato Agency publicist, Given Madia, the whole aim of the award ceremony was to recognise the hard work of young South Africans. It was no accident that Pat on Brands hosted the event a day before the celebration of Youth Day to make it more meaningful.
“As much as we celebrate young people’s brands, I would like for you to recognise the fact that young people are not folding their hands. They are actually knocking on doors and creating amazing brands that help our economy grow,” said the founder of Pat on Brands, Pat Mahlangu.
Representatives from Khumalo & Mabuya attorneys, marketers and a few highly educated individuals from different industries were given the ultimate challenge of judging each contestant’s work.
