The 2022 edition of Basadi In Music Awards has come and gone and it left a lasting impression, one that has fans looking forward to next year.
Basadi In Music Awards is typically women supporting women, a feat that has been clamoured for in a male dominated industry.
The award ceremony was held in Gallagher Estate Convention Centre in Johannesburg with Nomuzi Mabena and Anele Zondo been the host.
What an incredible night of glitz, glamour and music. Congratulations to all the winners of the night! You are all deserving of the honours and spotlight. Keep on keeping on. We are incredibly proud to have been a sponsor of the inaugural Basadi in Music Awards. We are even more proud of all performers who took to the stage to perform to showcase South African talent. What a night to remember. Congratulations to the Basadi in Music Awards team.” – Tiyani Maluleke SAMPRA’s CMO
