Here’s Where You Can Watch The First Edition Of SA Amapiano Awards. The maiden South African Amapiano Music Awards was graced by many South African celebrities who marched into the venue in their colourful outfits. It was the first of its kind. It’s a genre that’s been growing in leaps and bounds in SA and abroad, so it seemed fitting that it be celebrated with the first Amapiano Awards ceremony. The historical event was held at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg and the pioneers of the genre were lauded for their work.
While many might have missed the event night due to costs and COVID-19 regulations, SABC 1 will be showcasing the event on the 3rd of December 2021 at 9pm.
