Tatjana’s dedication to fitness and her sport compliments Huawei’s leading position in wearable devices, which track performance and health metrics with precision, empowering athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.

“Swimming has always been more than just a sport to me,” says Tatjana. “It has been instrumental in shaping my character and has given me the privilege to represent my country and contribute to the community that has supported me throughout my journey. 

“Partnering with Huawei feels natural because, like me, Huawei is committed to excellence and innovation. Their emphasis on fitness and technology resonates with my own dedication to a healthy lifestyle and performance and I’m thrilled to partner with a brand that not only leads in technology but also shares my values of perseverance and pushing boundaries.”

Peter Feng, CEO of Huawei South Africa’s device business group, says: “This partnership unites two champions, Tatjana in the pool and Huawei in the tech world, both driven to break new ground and inspire a healthier, more stylish future for South Africans.”

South Africa’s Golden Girl

Tatjana Smith has solidified her place as one of South Africa’s most celebrated athletes, recently adding to her legacy with a gold in the 100m breaststroke and a silver in the 200m breaststroke at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This victory is just the latest in a career marked by record-breaking performances, including her world and Olympic records in the 200m breaststroke at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Her success extends beyond the Olympics, with multiple golds at the Commonwealth Games, the African Swimming Championships, and the FINA World Championships. Domestically, she’s been honoured as South Africa’s Sports Star and Sportswoman of the Year, setting numerous records at the University of Pretoria and establishing herself as a true trailblazer in South African sports.

A Legacy of Excellence and Innovation

Tatjana’s success in the pool is a testament to her relentless pursuit of excellence. Huawei believes it has a similar commitment to innovation in the tech industry. With its Fashion Forward brand, Huawei is redefining the intersection of fitness and technology in South Africa. Along with Tatjana, Huawei is creating a new wave and blending superior design, performance and holistic health.

The winning deals from Huawei allow users to capture every victory with the Huawei nova 12i, or choose the unparalleled clarity of the Huawei Pura 70 Series. These are more than just smartphones – they’re the future of fashion and technology.
