MultiChoice accepted a localisation certificate at the 12th annual Proudly South African Localisation Dinner, which took place on March 26 at the Sandton Convention Centre.
The event featured a keynote address by Trade and Industry
Minister, Ebrahim Patel.
Hosted by Proudly South African, the localisation dinner is
a significant platform for recognising companies that exemplify a strong
commitment to increasing local procurement within their supply chains.
MultiChoice's acceptance of the certificate underscores its steadfast
dedication to support and amplify local content, talent and industries.
The localisation dinner convened a diverse spectrum of
stakeholders, including small to medium-sized businesses, aspiring
entrepreneurs, government entities and major corporations. The event
underscored the pivotal role of public procurement in driving economic growth
and fostering the prioritisation of locally manufactured goods and services.
Merely a month ago, MultiChoice was selected as the
recipient of the prestigious Ubuntu Award in the Economic Diplomacy in Africa
category – which is an esteemed recognition bestowed by the Department of
International Relations and Co-operation. MultiChoice's receipt of the
Localisation Certificate further reflects its pivotal role in promoting and
championing local content and talent across its platforms, including DStv and
Showmax. The company remains steadfast in its mission to showcase and elevate South
African stories, voices and creativity, while providing a global platform for
local talent to shine.
As a proudly South African entity, MultiChoice remains
deeply committed to contributing to the growth and prosperity of local
industries. This certificate serves as a testament to its ongoing efforts to
celebrate and showcase the rich diversity of South African content and talent.
MultiChoice extends its gratitude to Proudly South African for this honour,
which further motivates to continue its mission of promoting and supporting
local excellence.
