Kaya FM wins at the Thebe Group Excellence Awards 2013

Thebe Investment Corporation, one of South Africa's leading investment companies, held its 5th Thebe Excellence Awards on Thursday night, 14 November 2013, at a special ceremony at the Newtown Turbine Hall in Johannesburg. The Thebe Excellence Awards recognises and rewards excellence in its key commodity business disciplines; whether that's in the media and/or financial arena, in minerals, travel, logistics or specialist technology.

Kaya FM's win in the Best Company Category is one of biggest accolades the business has received thus far since MTN Commercial Radio Station of the Year 2013 award which was held in April. "The honour of receiving the award is a testament that we at Kaya FM are committed to making a real social impact through our programming content but most of all that our Corporate Social Investment projects that we implement are recognised," says Greg Maloka, Managing Director of Kaya FM. "These awards acknowledge and reward talent and excellence throughout the Thebe Group... to those companies making a significant social impact first is what is important and winning is merely inspiration to continue doing what is right."

Thebe Investment Corporation was founded by South African elders Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Beyers Naude, Thomas Nkobi, Enos Mabuza, Gary Harlow, Tokyo Sexwale and Thebe Chairman, Vusi Khanyile. From its humble beginnings to a leading flagship Corporate Investment Company, the business to date still remains true to its roots of ensuring better communities for all.

The night ended on a high with the nomination of Kaya Fm's Managing Director as a finalist in the Best CEO Award category. Commenting on his nomination, Mr Maloka stated, "I am humbled by the nomination as I was in the category with our Thebe CEO, Mr Jerry Mabena, who won the award... Mr Mabena is a deserving winner, which makes me feel like a winner as well, as our Chairman epitomises the Thebe values of community, integrity, innovation, equality and quality and is an exceptional leader."
