MAMA 2015: South African Tourism Lures Nigerians With All-Expense Paid Trip

Countdown to the 2015 edition of the prestigious MTV Africa Music Awards, MAMA, has begun and from all indications, it promises to be a memorable event.

Already, the South African Tourism, SAT, has concluded plans to give four fun-seekers what they would probably remember for a very long time.

To this effect, SAT has decided to give four winners an all-expense paid trip to the awards ceremony, which holds in Durban, South Africa on July 18, 2015.

MAMA is reputed to be a celebration of the best of African music cutting across the continent with the recognition of top artistes.

The four lucky winners, who will emerge from four top Nigerian radio stations, will also a five-star Durban experience and partake in the MAMAs in VIP style.

In Durban, the winners will enjoy a rejuvenating spa pampering experience and have a feel of the Ushaka Marine World, an acclaimed family vacation spot. They will also have a test of adrenalin bungee jumping from the only stadium with a bungee swing in the world, Moses Mabhida stadium.

Other features of the winners’ itinerary include the urban frenzy culture of Zulu dance and a shopping experience at the Gateway mall which is the largest shopping centre in the Southern hemisphere.

All winners will also receive assistance with Visa processing procedures.

All what participants need to do is to listen to Beat; Classic; Cool and Rhythm FMs daily and answer questions on South Africa for the duration of the competition.

The competition ends July 3 and winners will be flown to Durban from July 15 and to return July 20, 2015.

Speaking on the initiative, the body’s Regional Manager, West Africa, Hloni Pitso, said, “We are excited about MAMAs as it will afford us another fantastic opportunity to show Durban’s exceptional leisure offering. We have strategically designed the winners’ itinerary in response to what our insights indicate that travellers want authentic personalized tourism experiences.”

Pitso added that, “Very few moments can compare to a champagne boat cruise at the Durban harbour while enjoying an incredible sunset. Winners will enjoy more indulgent of this beautiful destination.”
