The MTV Africa Music Awards KwaZulu-Natal, which are produced in association with Absolut and in partnership with the city of Durban, are one of MTV’s biggest international events and have been marketed as “the definitive celebration of African contemporary talent, honoring musicians, achievers and personalities from across the continent” since the first show in 2008.
“We are thrilled that the MTV Africa Music Awards will be returning to Durban and KwaZulu-Natal on 18 July, a date famous for being the birthday of Nelson Mandela -- what better day could there be for staging this awe-inspiring celebration of African achievement and creativity that showcases Africa’s best talent on the world stage,” said Alex Okosi, senior vice president and managing director, Viacom International Media Networks Africa.
A-list talent like Wyclef Jean, Eve, Marlon Wayans and Trevor Nelson have hosted previous editions of the MAMA, which have featured performances from African contemporary artists including 2face Idibia, Sarkodie, Big Nuz, Davido, D’banj, Fally Ipupa, and Wahu, as well as international stars like Miguel, Trey Songz, French Montana, Public Enemy, Akon and T-Pain.
