South African 12th annual Metro FM Awards

23^rd of February all roads were leading to the International Conference Centre in Durban where the prestigious 12^th Annual Metro FM Awards were to be held

.

The clock struck 1800hrs and the red carpet was rolled out for the musicians and public figures or “osaziwayo” as they are affectionately known in isiXhosa for what i would describe as a one on one session with the camera people to see who is wearing what by which designer. Needless to say, there were those who were dressed to kill and those who looked like they suffered from a fabric malfunction if i may say. Minenhle Dlamini, Donald Moatshe, who is better known for his hit single, “i deserve”, Dj Sbue and Khaya Mthethwa made it to the best dressed list as usual. However, there were some like Camagwini that left everyone in shock as she had a gothic dress theme going on but to her followers it was nothing out of the ordinary as she is known for her rather different and unusual look and thus she has been termed the Lady Gaga of South Africa.

                                                       (Minenhle Dlamini was one of the best dressed)

Hosted by Azania Ndoro and Robert Marawa, the event was broadcast live for the first time ever and this was a great achievement for the Metro FM team. The audiences were kept on their feet throughout the show by performances that ranged from the afro centric sounds of The Soil and Mafikizolo to the groovy sounds of Oskido and Dr Malinga, the very guy who kept everyone dancing to his ‘via orlando’ song over the festive season.

Among the biggest winners of the night was Donald who walked home with two awards for the best produced album and best styled artist respectively. Some of the winners also included Zonke Dikana who bagged the best female artist award, Sello Chicco Twala who won the life time achievement award and Proffesor who took with him the best male artist award.

Speaking about Proffesor, those who caught a glimpse of the awards ceremony will know that he was wearing a police uniform and apparently he is in trouble for that as it appears he did not make the correct arrangements for him to wear the uniform since it is illegal to do so. Oscar Mdlongwa, who is affectionately known as Oskido yesterday twitted that he was on his way to one of the police stations in Durban to sort out this uniform issue.

Overally, the awards were on point and with the metros out of the way, one can only wait and anticipate what the South African Music Awards (SAMAs) have in store for us in March or April. Hopefully those who did not manage to win anything will manage to grab one or two awards at that event.
