Amapiano heavyweight Kabza De Small is right there with three nominations, making him a formidable contender. Kabza is competing against Tyla for Album of the Year, and he’s also nominated for Motsweding FM Best Amapiano Album for his groundbreaking album Isimo. Alongside this, he’s up for Radio 2000 Duo/Group of the Year with Mthunzi for their collaboration on Isimo.

    The competition doesn’t stop there. In the Male Artist of the Year category, the nominees include Kelvin Momo, Daliwonga, De Mthuba, and Priddy Ugly. These artists have shown incredible growth and promise in the past year, making the race for the top spot all the more exciting. On the female side, Brenda Mtambo, Lwah Ndlunkulu, Lordkez, and Xolly Mncwango are all vying for the Female Artist of the Year title, each bringing their unique flair to the table.

    Why Uncle Waffles Might Be Losing Her Glow

    In a recent report by Briefly News, it seems that South Africans might be growing weary of Uncle Waffles and her repetitive performances. A video of one of her sets made its way to social media, leaving netizens scratching their heads. It’s not just the music that’s raising eyebrows—her bold outfit choices at recent shows have also sparked criticism. Some fans feel that her rise to fame hasn’t been entirely justified, and the skepticism around her performances is growing. While Uncle Waffles has undoubtedly made waves in the past, it looks like the public might be ready for something new.

    As the music industry continues to evolve, one thing is certain: the SAMAs will be a night to remember. With Tyla leading the charge and a host of talented artists vying for top honors, the stage is set for a memorable celebration of South African music.
