Eish Covid19 ere tshwere ka di washing so the South African Music Awards had no choice but to host the ceremony digitally this year over a five day lockdown special.
Dance music maestro Prince Kaybee made a clean sweep scoring major wins in the Album of the Year and Best Dance Album categories. He picked up the Male Artist of the Year to become one of the three most awarded artists of the 2020 edition of SAMA.
True to the SAMA tradition, the performances were particularly spectacular with Kabza De Small and Sha Sha doing it for the Yanos as they set the place on fire with the Amapiano set of Koko and Tender Love performed with dancers in a dance studio.
Taking viewers to the afterparty was an intoxicating mix of Amapiano club banger such as International by SAMA26 nominee Vigro Deep.
The SAMA sprang a surprise twist with the appearance of Somizi Mhlongo dancing to Jerusalema, the song that has transformed into a global dance anthem by South African hitmaker Master KG featuring Nomcebo.
MFR Souls, DJ Maphorisa, Vigro Deep and Kabza De Small took the Best Produced Album award for Scorpion Kings.
DJ Tira beat stiff competition to be declared the winner of Best Kwaito Album for Ikhenani.
