2021 South Africa Music Awards: Bontle Modiselle & Lawrence Maleka to host

Following the reveal of the heavy nomination list, the organizers of the SAMAs have announced that Bontle Modiselle and Lawrence Maleka will be the hosts of this year’s SAMA27.

The announcement was unveiled exclusively on Live Amp on SABC1, this past Friday.

The SAMAs are slated to take place virtually on Saturday, 31 July 2021, and will be broadcasted live on SABC 1 at 8 pm.  The red carpet vibe will be aired via RGB on SABC 1 at 19:30 on the night.

Speaking to Daily Sun, Bontle said she’s excited to be part of the SAMAs.

“I’m incredibly excited to be part of the Samas. It comes full circle for me because I hosted the Sama25 red carpet, so now to be on the main stage is mind-blowing, to be trusted with this huge responsibility is humbling,” she said.

Maleka also spoke to the daily newspaper, “The work we do is magical, whether it’s music, television or the arts, we always hope it resonates with complete strangers that we reach out to.”
