Millions of viewers tuned into SABC 1 and witnessed the glitz, glam and the pizazz at the 19th Annual South African Music Awards
as Toya Delazy and Khuli Chana dominated the evening taking home 3
awards each at the Sun City Superbowl on Saturday, 11 May 2013.
For Toya Delazy who had kicked off the
evening with a high octane performance alongside rapper Reason, the
awards for Newcomer of the Year and Best Pop Album serve as confirmation
of her newly found status in the industry after a breakout year in 2012
with her debut hit album, Due Drop Deluxe. Jax Panix scooped the Best
Producer award the previous night for his work on Toya’s album
The outrageously talented Khuli Chana finally had his moment to shine in the spotlight as all the years of hard work finally paid off for the former Motswako protégé as he took home the coveted Best Male Artist, Best Rap Album and Album of the Year awards.
The fiercely contested Female Artist of
the Year award saw songbird Kelly Khumalo beat off stiff competition
from a very talented field.

Multi award winning Afro-fusion group
Freshlyground scooped what must be fast becoming a familiar statuette
for Duo or Group of the Year, further cementing their place as music
royalty in South Africa.
The almost three hour long show witnessed
some unique and iconic collaborations from amongst others Zonke and
Kabomo, ChianoSky with DJ Zinhle ft. Busiswa, Bobby van Jaarsveld with
Oskido ft. Candy, Zozo & Sangere Superbeat, Desmond & The Tutus
with Kabelo, Professor, Sfiso and Khaya ft. Proverb, Donald, Lira and
crowd pleasers DJ Vetkuk & Mahoota ft. Dr Malinga & Manqoba
amongst others.
The guest presenters on stage to hand
over the awards were some of the leading names in the entertainment
industry: Rapulana Seiphemo, Tsholo Monedi, Gareth Cliff, Zahara, Loyiso
Bala, Tailor, Pearl Thusi, Tumi Morake, Theo Kgosinkwe, Nhlanhla Nciza,
Zolisa Xaluva, Glen Lewis, Penny Lebyane, Tumi Morake, Greg Carlin and
Thami Mngqolo.
An emotional tribute to artists and other
industry players that have passed on during the last year was movingly
performed by Bongeziwe Mabandla, Nina Schumann, Steve Dyer, Herbie
Tsoaeli and CH2 over a visual montage of these fallen icons.
The Album of the Year medley was one of
the major highlights of the star studded night as Khuli Chana, Kelly
Khumalo, Maleh, Ntokozo Mbambo and The Muffinz took to the stage and
left the over 5 000 strong crowd in rapturous applause.
It was then left to the popular Menzi
Ngubane and Sophie Ndaba to close off the night and present the coveted
Album of the Year to an utterly surprised Khuli Chana.
