MTV Africa Music Awards 2016 moves to Joburg for the first time
MTV Africa Music Awards 2016 will be hosted in Joburg for the first time this year.
Previously the award show has been held in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal so this is a first for Jozi folk who can enjoy the show at the Northgate Ticketpro Dome on 22 October 2016.
The announcement for the MTV Africa Music Awards 2016 was made at a press conference in Johannesburg on Tuesday which was attended by ‘A-listers’ Tresor, Khuli Chana, Kwesta, Mafikizolo, Nasty C and others.
Rapper, Kwesta, had this to say about this year’s event;
“The city affects pretty much every single thing we do. There’s not a lot of places in the world that you find such diversity, such diverse food and culture. These are the things that artists draw from. The city has directly impacted on my career- every good song you’ve heard from me is from and inspired by Joburg. It’s a beautiful thing,” he said.
No details were offered at who this year’s performers will be and of course we will have to wait to hear who the nominees for MTV Africa Music Awards 2016 will be.
Nominee announcements will be held in Johannesburg and Lagos, Nigeria and over the next few weeks you can expect to read about who the performers will be.
