They’re scheduled for June 4, at an obvious choice venue Durban- Inkosi Albert Luthuli ICC.
This was confirmed by a credible source at Risa (Recording Industry of SA), who also confirmed on record that the KZN Provincial Gvt has come on board as a sponsor.
With Sun City going under the knife the organizers targeted Durban as alternative choice.
“I can confirm the SAMAs are back and will take place in Durbs,” says the source.
Probed further on how much has been budgeted considering the awards have no title sponsor, the source confirmed that the KZN Provincial Gvt will foot the bill.
“I’m not privy to state the amount but it’s a healthy budget. We know the MetroFM awards have raised the bar, we’re on track as well,” continued the source.
Ok, here we go folks once again KZN comes to the rescue of SAMAs reputation.
