After a 6-year break, the Metro FM Awards are back.
The annual event was last hosted in 2016, after which it was put on hold due to financial difficulties and upheaval at the SABC.
The awards will return on April 29, 2023, to the City of Mbombela in Mpumalanga.
According to Zimoja, stakeholders met at The Capital Hotel in Mbombela to ensure the restoration of Metro FM awards.
ChillerFlame, Nomfundo Moh, and Afro Traction performed during the event, which was hosted by Lerato Kganyago.
Ms. Nada Wotshela, Group Executive for SABC Radio, explained the reason for the hiatus:
“In the years 2017 and 2018, the organisation was recalibrating. there was a lot of instability, as you know during that year,” she says.
“We then started working on a comeback in 2019 for 2020 and then COVID-19 happened, and we did not want to come back on a small scale and do a virtual thing. We wanted to come back strong and with a bang.”
