Look at God (LAG) clothing label founder Yandisa Magagana will host a music awards ceremony to give back to the community of Lwandle and surrounding areas on 27 February at Drama Factory in Halfway, Somerset West.
Magagana said he hopes the event, entitled Look at God Music Awards, will take music in the area to further heights and inspire other aspirant artists.
The awards will have 17 categories and 50 people have been nominated.
Their categories vary from best choir of the year to song of the year, best DJ, best newcomer and best male and females, to name a few.
Magagana’s music is loved in the area and this was his way of showing appreciation especially to the youth.
“I have received so much support for my clothing line, and most of the support come from the music lovers in this area,” he said.
“So, in a way, this is giving back to the same community that has supported me.
“We have a lot of talented youngsters in Lwandle, and this event will give them a platform to shine.
“By these awards we are showing our appreciation, and we want the public to support them in future.”
Magagana said calls were made to the public to nominate people in the area they wanted to see awarded.
Voting has taken place since November for favourite artist and group before closing on Friday 14 January.
On Saturday 15 January LAG hosted a fundraiser for the awards at Fezeka Community Hall in Nomzamo.
Magagana said the fundraiser was well attended and was an immense success, with people coming out in droves.
“We appreciate all the support we received and continue to receive as we await the much anticipated awards,” he said.
