The winners in the Non-Broadcast Categories are...

Friday the 2nd of May at the 14th Annual MTN SA Music Awards was an occasion for invited guests and nominees in the Non-Broadcast categories to get together and celebrate the depth and diversity of local musical talent. Held in Sun City, it was an evening filled with vibrant performances, surprise winners and musical accolades. And as much as there was an incredible variety of music being recognised, there was a shared feeling that Mzansi’s musicians are creating world-class, original music, regardless of genre or style.
The evening kicked off with cocktails before guests were ushered into the ballroom for the awards ceremony. The awards were hosted by comedian, TV and radio personality Trevor Noah. Flautist Wouter Kellerman set the tone with a mesmerising performance. Then it was time to end the suspense and name some winners. A host of music industry players were recognised, from engineers and producers to a broad range of artists. Jeff Maluleke played an unplugged jazzy set in the middle of proceedings before Loyiso closed the affair with a powerful medley of his own music. But it didn’t end there. Guests were invited up to the Palace of the Lost City where they could attend one of four spectacular Star Parties, each featuring a different SAMA 14 nominee. Attendees could choose to party the night away to either Jimmy Dludlu, Camagwini, Flat Stanley or Slikour.
