It’s a good news for Mzansi as the people’s favourite South African Music Awards (SAMA) returns for the 28th season in Sun City, North West, next month.

The award ceremony took an initiative to celebrate live this year, after having virtual concerts for two years due to hard lockdown restrictions.

The event host shared a poster on their official twitter account to confirm that a mother-of-all even will air on SABC1 at 8pm on 28 August.
