Three legendary South African musicians, Joe Nina, Jimmy Dludlu and McCoy Mrubata, born in Langa in the Mother City, are set to receive Lifetime Achievement Awards this weekend at Sun City during the 28th Annual South African Music Awards.
The Recording Industry of South Africa, RISA, says the award recognises those who have significantly contributed to the development, upliftment, and advancement of the local music industry over at least 20 years.
RISA says a panel of over 120 judges have adjudicated the dozens of categories this year.
Acclaimed house DJ, Black Coffee, will be presented with the International Achievement Award in recognition of his international music career and setting a gold standard of excellence.
Sunday night’s festivities will be hosted by Nandi Madida and Lawrence Maleka.
The glittering celebration of music excellence will be broadcast live on SABC One at eight o’clock.
