By Delisa Magagula
KFC Eswatini has been announced as the latest sponsor of the Eswatini Lifestyle Awards, adding significant momentum to the newly rebranded event set for November 29, 2025, at Mavuso Trade Centre.
The announcement was made by the event’s founder and director, Jumbo Khumalo, who shared the news through his official Facebook page.
“Breaking news, KFC Eswatini has sponsored Eswatini Lifestyle Awards. No words can describe this happiness. Look at God,” Khumalo posted, marking a major milestone in the event’s journey.
The sponsorship comes at a transformative time for the awards, which recently evolved from the long-running Jumbo Festival into the Eswatini Lifestyle Awards.
The shift aims to strengthen the event’s focus on recognising excellence across Eswatini’s lifestyle sectors, including business, leadership, fashion, culture, and creativity.
Worth mentioning, this year’s ceremony has already generated strong public interest, with 80 per cent of tickets sold out.
The programme will open with a red-carpet experience from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, followed by a karaoke warm-up session before the main awards run until 10:00 pm.
General tickets are priced at E250, while VIP tickets cost E350 and offer premium seating along with enhanced hospitality.
Khumalo noted that the partnership with KFC Eswatini underscores the growing stature of the event as a platform that celebrates both emerging and established figures shaping the country’s lifestyle landscape.
