NOT only does Jabu Mpanza love but he also cares for the well-being of his fellow citizens.
Every December 26, the entrepreneur and founder of 057 Home Coming organises a top-notch event where people around Welkom come together to network and have fun.
The 057 is done annually and live performances from well-known artists are organised.
But it does not rule out the possibility of up and coming artists showcasing their talents.
Since 2013, 057 has been enabling businesses and other service providers around the city to generate some income or connect with a number of potential clients.
The much anticipated event will be held at Griffons Stadium, Welkom from 10am till midnight.
Businesses will set up their stalls inside the venue and make lots of revenue in just one day.
Those owning guesthouses know that the demands for space are high around those days.
Ezimtoti chat to Mpanza about business growth in and around Welkom, and this is what he had to say:
“Obviously we want people to come home from outside the borders of Welkom and enjoy the festive season with us.
Every single year we organise 057 Home Coming differently from the previous event, which is what makes it more fun every year,” he said, adding that people can only attend it if they found it exciting and that’s been their drive every year.
Tickets are now on sale from R150.
It’s 057 HC eighth edition this year so go out and buy tickets and enjoy with the rest of your family and friends!! The 057 HC is in partnership with the Welkom Municipality and a law firm Nyapotse Attorneys
