Finally the 4th of August 2012 arrived, the day i had been patiently waiting for. This was the day when i witnessed the Ukhozi FM Gospel Music Festival which was held at Coca-Cola Park, formaly known as Ellis Park staduim in Johannesburg ( South Africa). The gates opened at 08:00am but the festival started at 10:00am. The aim of this gospel music festival was so that the proceeds would be taken to the
Arnie William's Foundation for Abused Women and Children, who do a sterling job in catering for the needs of the abused. This really shows that Ukhozi FM cares. This event was also a celebratory party for Ukhozi FM, which has become one of the biggest radio station in the world seeing that they have 7,2 million listeners.

This event was a success because it was well organised, planned in time, well advertised, flyers were made, different artists who performed on the stage were interviewed on Ukhozi FM prior the event just to let the listeners know what to expect on the Ukhozi FM Gospel Music Festival and lastly this event was advertised on the official Ukhozi FM

The organisers could'nt have picked a better venue for this event. It was full and the meaning of this event touched many lives as it was the campaign for abused women and children.
ReplyDeleteThe venue was perfect for this event seeing that alot of gospel lovers turned out to support this event. Its good to see that people think about abused women and children and actuali do something about that.
DeleteIt was an event for a good course, I like that! Infact I think such events should be organised regurlaly. One thing that always disturbs me is music piracy in this country, pulling down our artists!
ReplyDeleteFor a good course indeed. Its sad to know that it takes just one original CD to make 10 fake ones, so somthing should b done about piracy
DeleteIt was a very nice event and I think it should be done more often so that people can relate to it and avoid woman abuse, also we as christian we should not support music piracy.
ReplyDeleteWe hould not support piracy at all because these artist work very hard to give us good music.And such events should be supported because they give support to the abused women and children
DeleteIt really sounds like it was an interesting event, wish i was there to witnes it personaly. Big ups to UKHOZI it never dissapoints its fellow listeners.
ReplyDeleteYou surely did miss out Siphokazi,it was an awesome event. Ukhozi Fm really cares and support its listerners
DeleteUkhozi FM Gospel Music Festival, played a big role by engaging on Community Relation campaing which is the good PR for gospel industry. We need more events to halt abuse aimed at women and children...I must say that was a great exhilaration
ReplyDeleteUkhozi FM also got good publicity which could help them get more listerners on top of the 7.2 million listerners
Deleteim glad Lundi Tyamarha was there. The guy blesses my soul.It sounds like the event was a success, how i wish i was there as well to witness the leaving God.Such events should be organised on a regular basis because they are for a good cause.
ReplyDeleteIt was a well organised event which had a good turn out and its good to know that the money made from the concert would go to foundation for abused women and children
DeleteI have to say well done to the organisers it was a successful event. At least our artists are doing something good for the community; they are not only thinking about their fancy life styles but they are willing to help others.
ReplyDeleteIts very generous of the artists to do this for the affected fans because they are the ones who support them by buying their music.
DeleteUkhozi Fm is indeed a graet Radion Station that repsects its listerners, this should be a lesson for other radio stations to practice the same thing like Ukhozi Fm and many PRP uses it as a platform to communicate to thier clients.
ReplyDeleteAs a Public Relations practitioner it would be a good idea to use Ukhozi FM as a platform to get a message across to your target audience seeing that this is the most listened radio station in the world.
DeleteUkhozi Fm was very well organised and attached fans to help others.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing that Ukhozi FM cares for their listerners because without the listerners this radio station would not be the number one radio station in the world like it is today.
