She was also recently nominated for two BET Awards for Best Female Artist and Best Collaboration for her song with Master KG. Kamo Mphela’s popularity continues to grow each day and she is fast becoming one of the biggest names in South African music.} In front of a live audience at the Sandton Convention Centre, Kamo Mphela’s electric performance was the highlight of the first-ever SA Amapiano Awards on Saturday night. Mphela took the stage with around a dozen dancers and entertained the audience with an impressively choreographed dance routine as she performed a couple of her recent hits. Following a successful year that saw her release the four-track EP Nkulunkulu, Mphela won the Artist of the Year. Other performers included Reece Madlisa & Zuma, Busta 929, Mr JazziQ, Nokwazi, Nia Pearl, Semi Tee, Zandi Maz and DJ Stokie. With the awards not being broadcast live, we had to rely on some social media videos and pics to get a glimpse of festivities. SABC1 was announced as the official broadcast partner, but they are yet to announce when exactly the awards would be broadcast on the channel. Fans voted “Umsebenzi Wethu” the Amapiano Song of the Year. The song by Busta 929 and the late Mpura, who passed away in a tragic car accident earlier in the year, earned them a cool R50 000 cash prize. Zuma, Mr JazziQ, Lady Du and Reece Madlisa are also featured on the song. Other winners on the night included the likes of Sir Trill, Major League DJz, Boohle and DJ Melzi.
