When exactly did HoodvsBurbs start and how ?

Koketso
Hoodvsburbz is an events management and coordination company which consists of  5 founders, Rush, Scott, Ducks, Xavi and Infa and the Hoodvsburbz brand ambassador Kidio. The idea was formulated through the urge of the members to bring individuals from both the Townships (Hood) and Suburbs (Burbz) together to form one united youth in Johannesburg that didn't consist of stigmas and stereotypes. The only way to penetrate the idea was through events . We knew that no matter where a person comes from they liked to go to places where they could enjoy themselves and so 'HoodvsBurbz' was born in the year 2009 .

Where did you get the knowledge to execute the whole concept of HoodvsBurbz ?

Koketso
We saw a gap between the two townships which is the Hood and the burbz ( Suburbs ) , so we decided to start the whole concept of hosting events to bring them all in one place .

Real_Biz
Do you guys have sponsors ? If so , please name a few ?

Koketso
For now it's just Miller geniun draft that we currently have .
