Last night, Africa’s finest musicians converged at Sandton Convention Center, Johannesburg, South Africa for the 2010 Channel O Awards. The event was broadcast live to Africa for the first time and was hosted by Channel O veejay Lungile “Lungsta” Radu and South African actor/comedian Thomas Gumede. The entire show had a flight-like theme with Lungsta playing pilot and Gumede playing his co-pilot.
There were performances by Nigeria’s Sasha; she was joined on stage by Mozambique’s Dama do Bling and South Africa’s Thembi Seete to perform Making Money (remix). Kenya’s Wyre also performed Uprising alongside Ghana’s D-Black and South Africa’s Kwela Tebza. Liquideep and Black Coffee alongside Zakes Bantwini performed Fairytale and Juju respectively. Zimbabwe’s Buffalo Souljah performed Ezandhla Phezulu. There were also performances by Teargas, DJ Lira and Liesel of Jamali.
The Nigerian contingent had a good showing, scooping up a total of six awards. Here’s a full list of winners.
