This year’s MTN Heroes of Change programme has seen the addition of a special category which will reward two personalities for their contribution to society through their social projects and charitable causes.
The special category is targeted at media and entertainment personalities. The winners in this category will each receive a special award to be invested in any charity project of their choice.
MTN Heroes of Change was first launched in July 2013 with the aim of identifying and recognizing selfless people who continue to sacrifice their time and resources to improve their communities and brighten lives. There have been three ultimate winners since the project was initiated.
