Africa-Press – Eswatini. Eswatini Mobile has proudly sponsored gospel powerhouse Nothando Hlophe’s ‘The New Dawn’ Live Recording.
Eswatini Mobile’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sydney Sichula delivered a stirring address that encapsulated the essence of the evening, declaring, “
Tonight is more than an album launch – it is a moment. A movement, a message to the nation and the continent that Swati talent is bold, brilliant, and unstoppable.”
The launch event took place at a SibaneSami Hotel, on Thursday. Sichula emphasized Eswatini Mobile’s commitment to supporting local talent, stating,
“At Eswatini Mobile, we are incredibly proud to stand here not just as sponsors, but as believers in creativity, in potential, and the extraordinary power of Eswatini to shape the future.”
The evening was themed ‘A New Dawn,’ symbolizing a shift not only in the music industry but also in the collective mindset of the nation.
Sichula articulated this vision, saying, “It is the sound of a nation rising. The rhythm of a people rewriting their story.
The heartbeat of a future aligned with His Majesty King Mswati III’s bold vision, a First World Eswatini that thrives through technology, creativity, and unity.”
The audience was captivated as Sichula painted a picture of what this ‘first world future’ entails. “It looks like platforms that elevate artists. It looks like brands that reinvest in people. It looks like nations that celebrate their own,” he asserted.
Sichula was clear that Eswatini Mobile’s presence at the event was about more than branding. “We didn’t come here tonight to simply put a logo on a stage.
We came here to honour a voice that moves us, and to show what it means when purpose meets partnership.”
He highlighted the vision of Eswatini Mobile as ‘Africa’s Leading Integrated Business Partner,” emphasizing their mission to connect people to purpose, communities to opportunity, and dreams to platforms.
