#MTNSAMA19 Nominees

The 19^th annual MTN South African Music Awards nominees were announced in Johannesburg today, Toya Delazy came up tops with 6 nominations to her name.

Judging by the audience response at the announcement venue, it appeared that people were pleased to hear that “The Muffins” were nominated for more than two awards including best newcomer.

Another big shocker was the return of Kelly Khumalo, the afro pop singer hasn’t released an album since her 2007 project called “Siyajabula”. She has been nominated 3 times for her latest album titled “The Past, The Present, The Future”

One of the most interesting award for the night will be the SAMPRA AWARD, which will be for the highest air-played song for the year.

The awards take place on the 11^th of May 2013 in Sun City.
