MTN to 'cut all ties' with Afrikaans is Groot over Steve Hofmeyr's involvement in the showCape Town - MTN on Friday announced that it will cut all ties with Afrikaans is Groot (AIG) due to Steve Hofmeyr’s involvement in the show. MTN raised its concerns with AIG last month and we have taken the decision to cut all ties with this event. Channel24 on Thursday reported that most big-name sponsors were undeterred by Steve Hofmeyr’s involvement in the AIG concert despite backlash online. "CCBSA were later approached by the organisers of Afrikaans is Groot and the team declined to get involved with this specific event. We are investigating why our logo is being used on the Afrikaans is Groot website and will be asking the organisers to remove our logo from it."
