  • MTN Fanfest at Highway Africa

    Posted: July 16, 2010, 9:07 am by rebecca

    Its always nice to see old friends and evening functions provide a perfect opportunity; given that parallel sessions may not promote "catching up".

    It was time to catch up with Remmy Nweke and Brenda Zulu; we had a chance to remember the old times

    We were all happy when they announced that food would be served before kick off; it was a better plan compared to waiting till half time or eating when the game was going on.

    Then it was time for testing MTN knowledge and those who were good at it were rewarded

    But not all were lucky; she could not believe that she got the answer wrong and missed the gift pack!
