The South African Music Awards (SAMAs) are here. This is one of my favourite weekends in the entertainment industry in SA because I love how far our artists have come. We celebrate their achievements in music, production, music videos, style, performances and overall entertainment. I’ll be heading through to the awards in a little bit for the live broadcast. We’ll get to see who the major winners are, we’ll get to see the lovely Bonang and Phat Joe get their hosting duties on, we’ll get to see who takes to the stage to perform (I have word that Loyiso and The Arrows might be collaborating) and we’ll see who wears what on the yellow carpet. Speaking of the yellow carpet, R&B singer and now double SAMA winner, LeAnne walked off with two SAMAs last night. Wearing her Funduzi gown by Craig Jacobs, the start said, “I’m so emotional, I can’t believe this. I’ve worked so hard and waited so long to have this.”LeAnne walked off with the Best R&B/ Neo Soul album as well as the Best Producer album.
