Cassper Nyovest, Sho Madjozi, Spikiri , Lady Zamar and more win big at Mzansi Kwaito and House Music Awards

The Mzansi Kwaito and House Music Awards (MKHMA) held their 4th annual music ceremony at the lavish Big Top Arena in Ekurhuleni. The ostentatious occasion saw the likes of Cassper Nyovest, Sho Madjozi, Spikiri and Lady Zamar walking away with the coveted MKHMA award. Tshepi Mabulana and Massiv Metro’s Sibusiso “DJ Sbu” Leope hosted the prestigious event at Carnival City

“Wow! What a year it’s been. I am proud of the growth that the Mzansi Kwaito and House Music Awards has gone through this past year and the exceptional work that the entire team has put in to make this night happen. Thank you to all our partners who supported and stood by use through this period. Next year it will be our fifth year hosting these awards, the year of Grace. Congratulations to all the winners who walked away winners on the night. To all the nominees who didn’t win, as MKHMA, we consider them as winners. I urge them not to lose hope, as we still would like to see them at the 5th annual Mzansi Kwaito and House Music Awards,” said Perfecta Malinga, MKHMA founder and CEO.

Uhuru’s opening performance set the mood for the evening, before Sho Madjozi captivated audiences with a performance of her hit single, John Cena. The WWE superstar was nowhere to be seen when Sho Madjozi gracefully accepted her MKHMA 19 trophy. Thebe Lenyora, as he is affectionately known, scooped the Lifetime Achievement award for his excellent contribution to Kwaito music, over the years. Other notable winners on the night include Mapaputsi, GP Ma-Orange and Manqonqo, just to name a few.
