THE 2011 SAMA WINNERS ARE---


It seems like majority of the country was really not impressed with the 2011 South African Music Awards, with most people only focusing on the venue, the guest presenters and the non- free alcohol. Can we just focus on what the SAMAS are all about, MUSIC!!!!
All the negative feedback I’ve heard the entire weekend had nothing to do with music.
The performances on both nights were really fantastic, they managed to give us a taste of all  genres we have in this country in a very interesting way.
The acts on both nights were amazing.  The collaborations between the acts on the fan-stage and the inside stage were incredible with no glitches none so ever.
Friday’s performances had the likes of Dj Kent ft Relo, Leanne, Nomsa Mazwai, FreshlyGround and many more.
The live Saturday show saw other bigger acts that really amazed the entire audience. The likes of Die Antwoord , JR, the ever so cool Zakes Bantwini, zebra  & giraffe and Professor.  
Nothende also did her thing at the after party on Friday night, she wowed everyone.
Regardless of what other critics might say, the performances at the South African Music Awards were outstanding.
