“I know it’s just a nomination and there are processes and campaigning to be done before winners are officially announced, but I already feel like a big winner. The nomination alone is big enough for me. It motivates me to work hard in this tough industry. It also signals new beginnings for my music journey,” said Mthethwa.
Mthethwa’s latest offering, titled Saina Mfundisi, which is also available on YouTube, was nominated in two different categories.
