Huawei Consumer Business Group South Africa has just hit the fast lane with an electrifying new partnership, proving once again that innovation and excellence are at the core of its mission. The global tech giant has officially teamed up with South Africa’s youngest Olympic medallist, Bayanda Walaza, a rising star whose speed on the track is matched only by his drive for success.
For Huawei, aligning with Bayanda Walaza is more than just a sponsorship—it’s a statement. “Partnering with Bayanda is a proud moment for Huawei. His journey has only begun, but his legacy of excellence is already cemented and mirrors our commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries,” said Peter Feng, General Manager of Huawei South Africa Consumer Business Group.
At just 18 years old, Bayanda has already made history. The teenage sprint sensation took home a silver medal in the 4x100m relay at the 2024 Paris Olympics, making him the first South African to claim an Olympic medal while still in high school. And he didn’t stop there—Bayanda stormed onto the global stage again at the World Athletics U20 Championships in Lima, Peru, securing double gold in the 100m and 200m events.
With jaw-dropping personal bests of 10.13 seconds in the 100m and 20.34 seconds in the 200m, both set in Pretoria in 2024, Bayanda is proving to be a force to be reckoned with. His speed, determination, and relentless pursuit of greatness make him the ideal ambassador for a brand that thrives on cutting-edge performance and pushing the limits of possibility.
Bayanda isn’t just a track star—he’s a symbol of perseverance, excellence, and the power of ambition. His collaboration with Huawei underscores a shared vision: to inspire South Africans to embrace innovation, wellness, and the pursuit of their dreams.
“Huawei represents more than just technology—they stand for innovation and improving lives. This partnership reflects my personal commitment to encourage South Africans to live healthier and more fulfilling lives,” Bayanda shared.
Through this exciting collaboration, Huawei is reinforcing its dedication to supporting South Africa’s brightest young talents. Whether it’s championing athletes or delivering world-class technology, Huawei is shaping a future where innovation and excellence go hand in hand.
With Bayanda blazing new trails on the track and Huawei continuing to drive technological advancement, this partnership is set to inspire millions. As South Africa watches its young sprinting prodigy soar, Huawei remains at the forefront, empowering individuals and communities to achieve greatness.
One thing is certain: the race to a brighter, more connected future has never looked more exciting.
