EVENT REVIEW: GAUTENG SPORTS AWARDS NOMINATION ANNOUNCEMENT PARTY


Last week the guide team attended the Gauteng sports awards nominations announcement party held at The Venue in Melrose arch. The main aim of the night was to announce the nominations for the upcoming Gauteng awards which will take place later on the 7th of June 2014 at Vodaworld in Midrand.

The venue was over flowing with sports stars, celebrities, media, bloggers and government officials, who all braved the cold Johannesburg night to attend the nomination announcement. With a long red carpet where all the stars had their moment walking down it and posing in front of the cameras, at the end of the red carpet guests were welcomed with an ice cold Peroni beer.

The day kicked off with a press conference at 18:00 and guests had a little break after the press conference to indulge in the delicious canapés and refill their drinks before the nomination announcement which was around 19:00.  The announcement was made by MEC for sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation Lebogang Maile (who did an incredible job, just needs to work on his jokes) with some intense background music.
