In respond to a number of issues that have appeared in the media most especially in the last couple of days, MTN Rwanda is committed to the development of local music.
MTN has sponsored the last two editions of Salax Music Awards and continues to work closes with several artists to promote the trade.
However, MTN Rwanda is yet to commit to this year’s Salax Awards edition and is already in talks with Ikirezi Group (the organizers) to continue forging a credible partnership that promotes the same noble cause.
MTN Rwanda has been following media reports (both in print and broadcast media) on the organization of this year’s Salax Awards.
MTN would like to make it clear that officials are dialogue with Ikirezi Group and have kindly asked them to put their house in order to avoid any doubts that can put the credibility of the awards in jeopardy.
There is no doubt that music in Rwanda has tremendously grown and this growth usually comes with numerous challenges.
As a sole sponsor MTN Rwanda doesn’t not ONLY offer monetary support but also offers mentorship to Rwandan music promoters, music artists and brand ambassadors without biasing their objectivity.
It is against this background that MTN Rwanda wont rush to make a drastic decision of pulling out of the Salax Awards, but will work with the organizers to make sure the awards are a successful and continue to grow with the industry.
