On the back of a two year hiatus due to COVID-19, DStv and Mzansi Magic hosted the DStv Mzansi Viewers’ Choice Awards (DStvMVCA) at the Sun Arena in Pretoria on 25 June. The popular awards show was broadcast live for DStv subscribers. Shimza was voted as the favourite DJ in South Africa.
This award belongs to everyone who has been supporting my journey from the very beginning until now. It hasn’t always been easy, but if you have come to my gigs, if you’ve ever booked me to play at your event, if you’ve ever bought a ticket to my shows, if you’ve ever watched my TV productions, if you’ve ever listened to my mixes on radio from the early days at VOT, YFM to MetroFM, if you’ve ever opened a door where I’ve knocked, if you’ve ever closed a door and made me stronger, if you’ve supported my journey in any way, I thank you
Says Shimza.
Shimza stands as one of South Africa’s most prolific contemporary stars. Shimza has been a key breakout star on the global electronic music circuit in recent years with his self-styled Afro-tech sound, and is now globally recognised as one of South Africa’s most celebrated music exports.
Shimza continues his crusade to promote South Africa’s rich musical heritage with the launch of his new Kunye label.
