We love award ceremonies right? Well, we can add another spectacular event to our calendars thanks to DSTV and Mzansi Magic.
M-Net’s Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161) has partnered with DStv to launch a brand new awards show, one in which South African television audiences will determine the winners in 10 categories. The DStv Mzansi Viewers’ Choice Awards (DStvMVCA) will be screened live on Mzansi Magic on August 26th this year and are destined to be a glittering celebration of local talent in acting, music, sport and more, all acknowledging the country’s top stars.
The DStvMVCA will include a special recognition award to pay tribute to those individuals whose outstanding contributions have directly influenced the local entertainment scene.
“Our audiences are involved, loyal, vocal and highly engaged especially in relation to their favourite personalities. Social media comes alive as they share their comments and opinions on the trend-setters, news-makers and heavy-hitters of pop culture. So to be able to organise and host a gala whose entire focus is on those stars, we believe we can give our viewers an evening of stand-out performance, red-carpet glamour and unforgettable truly Mzansi-styled magic” – M-Net Director of Local Entertainment Channels Reneilwe Sema speaking at the launch in Johannesburg yesterday.
The cool part is that there is also something for the viewers. Those who vote stand the chance to win a brand-new Kia Picanto 1.0 Street, valued at R 150 000! In addition, prizes on the night will include the socially influential 1Life Life Changer Award, which recognises the efforts of a dedicated community leader making a positive impact in their environment. That leader will receive R 50 000, while the person who nominated them will also be the recipient of a second R 50 000 cash bonus. And adding to the excitement of the night will be prizes from Vodacom, who are sponsoring a viewer voting prize in the Song of the Year category.
