Diarise the most prestigious date on the South African Music Calendar

The most prestigious date on the South African music calendar is on the horizon, so get your diary out and block off the weekend of the 16th and 17th of April 2010, because that’s when the 16th Annual MTN SA Music Awards hits Sun City. Then, get to Computicket and book some seats for you and your posse, because this year the event is going to surpass the incredibly high standards set in previous ones.

The MTN SA Music Awards has become synonymous with top quality performances, high-glam antics and electric atmospheres. Enjoying the main event on Saturday the 17th in the flesh is the best way to experience it, but if you can’t be there, then you can catch the live broadcast on SABC 1. It’s the one weekend when Mzansi’s music community gets together to pay tribute to their top performers, outdo one another on stage and party ‘til the early hours. As always it’s going to be packed, so don’t sleep on this one – book your place for the main event now, and make sure that you’re there live to catch all the action as it goes down.
