Huawei Launches MatePad 11.5 in South Africa: Price & Details Revealed

Huawei’s latest tablet offering has arrived in the form of the new Huawei MatePad 11.5 – a powerhouse device designed to elevate style, performance, and innovation. To celebrate this moment, Huawei also announced a new partnership with Bayanda Walaza, South Africa’s youngest Olympic medallist and a rising force in global athletics. Because, just like Bayanda, Huawei’s latest Huawei MatePad 11.5 and Huawei Nova 13 devices are built for ambition, speed, and success.

Power Meets Productivity

According to Huawei, the MatePad 11.5 delivers next-level productivity and creativity in a PC-like experience for those needing more from their device.

Designed for work, study, and entertainment, the MatePad 11.5 features an 11.5-inch PaperMatte Display that reduces glare and gives users a comfortable, paper-like experience.

Whether sketching, taking notes or binge-watching your favourite series, the 120Hz refresh rate and crisp 2200×1440 resolution make every interaction smooth and immersive.

Paired with the Huawei M-Pencil (3rd generation), this tablet isn’t just a screen — it’s a canvas for ideas, creativity, and productivity. Plus, users can jot down ideas and sync audio notes effortlessly with features like Multi-Note and Note Replay. Perfect for students, professionals, and creatives alike.

Bayanda Walaza: A champion’s spirit

Like the Huawei MatePad 11.5, Bayanda Walaza embodies ambition, excellence, and the drive to push boundaries. At just 18, he made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics, securing a silver medal in the 4x100m relay and, becoming the first South African Olympic medallist still in high school. And then he dominated the World Athletics U20 Championships in Lima, Peru, clinching gold in both the 100m and 200m events.

Bayanda’s journey is one of dedication, perseverance, and an unshakable commitment to success — values that mirror Huawei’s relentless pursuit of innovation.

“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 said.

With the addition of Bayanda Walaza as part of the Huawei family, the company is claiming its title as a brand that is serious about innovation, ambition, and inspiring a new generation to go further than ever before.
