Although he was unable to attend the ceremony due to prior commitments in the Eastern Cape, his joy and gratitude were palpable.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Vusi Nova shared his excitement: “It feels amazing and I’m honored. I couldn’t be there because I had gigs in the Eastern Cape, but in spirit, I was there. Thank you to the Xhosa Music Awards and everyone who voted and has been supporting me since day one. Ndiyabulela,” he expressed.
The evening also recognized Thembinkosi Nciza, widely known as TK, who was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award. The Gauteng ANC secretary and former TS Records boss was celebrated for his significant contributions to the music industry and his efforts in promoting the Xhosa culture. TK praised the awards ceremony, saying, “I’m happy for those who facilitated the awards and organized the event. We are on track to tell our own story through such a ceremony. If we don’t promote our own, who’ll do it for us?”
Other notable winners included Thandiswa Mazwai, who took home the Best Female Artist of Democracy award, and gospel singer Kholeka, who was honored with both the Best Traditional Gospel Artist of Democracy and the Most Consistent Gospel Artist of Democracy awards. The Xhosa Music Awards celebrated the remarkable talents within the community and highlighted the rich cultural heritage through music.
