The 5th Annual Africa Com Awards

** Stop press ** Stop press ** - 2012 Winners announced.

The 5th annual AfricaCom Awards went off with a bang on the 14th of November providing an evening of entertainment that attendees described as the best yet. After a superb opening from comedian MC Nic Rabinowitz the audience learnt about 2012′s new Official Charity Mothers2Mothers helping HIV Mothers in South Africa, and then it was down to the main business of the Awards.

2012′s categories were totally refreshed, and included several new Awards with even more chances to win. Entries were extremely competitive, and the winners reflected a wide range of companies – the full list of winners can be found online. Congratulations to 2012′s Champions!
