Stars shine Mzansi-style
VIEWERS’ CHOICE AWARDS: DAZZLING, DARING AND CREATIVE DESIGNS
Who wore what to the glittering event.
Wearing an array of bold, bright colours, Mzansi’s A-List celebrities stepped out to shine at the first DStv Mzansi Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards at the Sandton Convention Centre this past weekend.
These awards are among the highlights of the year.
An air of excitement and celebration was pervasive and the black carpet event was on fire as actors, actresses and industry folk stood tall in their designer couture gowns and suits.
Hosted by Bonang Matheba, the Mzansi Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards carried on through the night in flawless style. If this was a night of the stars, then Matheba was the brightest of all.
The awards were beamed live into millions of households via Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161). The show lit up all social media platforms and awed the live audience at the Sandton International Convention Centre and those watching from the small screen as a parade of Mzansi’s finest entertainment talent walked off the stage clutching a coveted black and gold statuette.
Legendary jazz maestro Hugh Masekela was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award handed to him by M-Net CEO Yolisa Phahle. However, the night was not just about the who’s who of the entertainment industry. Anna Dithane walked off with R50 000 after being named the 1Life Life Changer for uplifting her community. Another R50 000 went to Eugene Dithane, who nominated his community warrior mother.
