Durban — Award-winning musician and actress Nandi Madida has been announced as one of the hosts for this year’s annual SA Music Awards (Sama) 28.
RiSA CEO Nhlanhla Sibisi said they were working hard to put together a world-class celebration of musical excellence during Women’s Month.
“We are particularly excited that the charismatic Nandi Madida heeded our call to host #SAMA28; she is an example of the bold, compelling and immensely talented women we wish to acknowledge, uplift and empower. We hope that fans are buying their tickets so they can join us for this spectacular calendar event,” said Sibisi.
Comfort Nkosi, speaking on behalf of the Sama, said the event will be held on August 28 at Sun City and will be broadcast live on SABC 1. Nkosi said the #SAMA28 will see more than 30 accolades being presented, including public voting categories, TECNO Record of the Year, TECNO Music Video of the Year and SAMPRA Artist of the Year.
Nandi said she never imagined that she would one day be a host for the Sama.
She said: “When I accepted my first Sama in 2020 for my collaboration with KO, ‘Say U Will’, I would not have imagined that I would be hosting just two years later. I am humbled to have been trusted with this honour and look forward to bringing unforgettable moments to the #SAMA28 stage alongside my co-hosts.”
