This past weekend saw all roads lead to Sun City for the 28th installment of the South African Music Awards.
Actor Lawrence Maleka and Nandi Madida handled hosting duties.
Black Coffee was awarded the International Achievement Award. The world-renowned DJ, who couldn’t physically attend the awards shared a video expressing his gratitude for the accolade.
“It’s a big deal for me. Growing up in Umlazi as a kid was such a big deal, but at the same time – It was so far-fetched.
“I want to say to anyone who is watching that anything is possible. I want to say thank you to my team for all the work you put in. I want to thank my family, my late grandmother who taught me hard work,” expressed Black Coffee.
“I want to say thank you to my children, my siblings, my niece, my nephew, and my mother who holds the fort while I’m away so I can reach this greatness. This award is dedicated to you, mama. Thank you so much, I love you.”
Three legendary South African artists in Joe Nina, Jimmy Dludlu, and McCoy Mrubata received Lifetime Achievement Awards on the evening.
Now, what would be a historic SAMAs evening without daring and bold looks from the entertainment industry’s most popular faces?
