Ahumuza Brian is one determined man. he knows the quality that he produces, and knows how to sell the idea to people. After partnering with Capital FM, he has not yet stopped.
Brian and Capital
Ahumuza’s next targets are government entities, and he has already approached Kampala City Council Authority, the organizers of the Kampala City Canival, and Uganda Tourism Board, the body in charge of tourists around the country.
After Jack Pemba threw a large sum, and sky beach showered the fashion designer with good news, there are still more blessings on the side of the Abryanz awards.
The two governement bodies have agreed to sponsor the event. News coming in is that the Abryanz boss and his people engaged the Chief Executive Officer of Uganda Tourism Board, Mr Stephen Asiimwe into a meeting, during which he expressed his , willingness to be one of the sponsors of the Abryanz Style and Fashion Awards
UTB
That very same day, the Deputy Public Relations Officer of KCCA, Robert Kalumba was also approached, who gave a positive response to the entire idea.
KCCA makes a deal
The Abryanz team posted:
“We thus take this opportunity to thank KCCA and UTB for believing in the ASFAs and all that we stand for. We promise to use their support to deliver a ceremony that is going to help both government bodies achieve their expectations.”
This will be announced in a press conference to make it official. However, we have the good news already.
Abryanz shirts
The shirts for the event are out to, and just like Jack Pemba, KCCA and Uganda Tourism Board, we need to support this event.
shirts
Buy one Shirt, vest or cap at the Abryanz Collection store, Garden city at 30,000 shs as we get ready for the fashion takeover this December.
We have great news coming in from Abryanz this week. The ASFAS 2017 has gotten yet another boost.
Sky beach, Freedom city has also joined as one of the sponsors of the country’s biggest fashion awards and offered a whopping 30 million Uganda Shillings. During a meeting, on offering the sponsorship, Sky beach announced that it will offer a venue for the event.
The deal was made
Derrick Muwonge CEO of Sky Beach was pleased to mention
We will use the ASFAS as a platform to show the world what Sky Beach Freedom city is bringing to the recreation landscape in the country. We, of course, choose to work with the ASFAS because they are a continental ceremony that attracts and interests affluents across the globe. And that right there, is our target market. People who understand and appreciate exquisite value.
From listening to what he says, we all know that it is a win for both parties.
Sky beach lounge is a new spot in Kampala with a swimming pool, bar, sauna gym, and all sections to give you the perfect stay. It was launched this year around May. Speaking of launches, Abryanz also launched ASFAS 2017 with the theme, “The fashion takeover” yesterday at ENS Auditorium, Rwenzori House. It was a seminar attended by the Abryanz family, and various fashion designers who were guided upon improvement of their skills to bring out their creativity in the industry.
As we now know, the Swahili nations (Kenya and Tanzania) always stick together making Uganda feel like the new kid in school.
Well, former big brother contestant and Kenyan Socialite Huddah has come out to mock Zari’s predicament saying “A man is only yours when you are with him”
This comes after Diamond platnumz came out to apologise to Zari for cheating on her and siring a son with Tanzanian model Hamisa and promising to walk on his knees to south Africa to beg for her forgiveness.
We are yet to see the results of this given Zari also made her not so kind response to Diamond’s actions.
Somebody else knows the worth of the Abraynz Awards and he has injected a sum of 100million into the event.Jack Pemba has partnered as a sponsor for the ASFAS 2017 that will be held on 8th December at Serena Hotel. We may all be wondering who this rich man is.
Jack Pemba signing the agreement
Mr. Jack Pemba is not new to the news scene. He is the President and CEO of Pemba Group Of Companies (Pemba Sports Africa, Pemba Entertainment and JP Logistics), and has on countless occasions been headlined in sponsoring events, arrests, lavish birthdays, meeting celebrities, relationships with big names like Desire Luzinda and a lot more big news.
This time, the rich city tycoon is in the news again for doing something completely awesome, and giving a hand in one of Uganda’s only, biggest and largest fashion awards ceremony. It is said that he has once sponsored events like Uganda Entertainment awards to a total of about 150million, and also given a hand in the Kabaka’s run and many other functions. All we can say is that this city tycoon knows where to put his money.
Thank you Jack Pemba
Speaking shortly after signing the sponsorship agreement, Jack Pemba said “We want to associate with a ceremony that represents affluence, high-end fashion and cutting-edge innovation. We are thus honored to be part of the biggest fashion show on the continent.”
