LIMPOPO – The second Tzaneen Awards, celebrating individuals, organisations and businesses, will this year be hosted on November 28.

‘More than recognition’

According to one of the organisers, Ofentse Modiba, the awards are about more than recognition.

“The Tzaneen Awards was established to create a platform that uplifts local talent and encourages community growth through recognition and opportunity,” said Modiba.

The event also serves as a networking platform where attendees can connect, collaborate and share ideas aimed at strengthening communities.

Modiba said the initiative aims to foster a culture of excellence while motivating future generations.

“Our goal is to celebrate the people who are driving positive change in our communities. By sharing their stories, we hope to inspire others to pursue their goals, become leaders in their own fields and contribute positively to society,” he said.

Growing digital engagement and wider interest

The event has also established a growing digital footprint. In the past month alone, the Tzaneen Awards’ social media platforms recorded more than 1.1m Facebook views, reflecting increasing public interest and engagement from audiences across Limpopo, Gauteng and beyond.

The 2026 ceremony is expected to attract community leaders, youth representatives, educators, entrepreneurs, media representatives and business stakeholders from across the region.
