“The SAMAs fails to recognize Limpopo”: Mzansi fumes over Makhadzi snub
The SAMAs are trending for the wrong reasons and they have been since declared biased and out of context. Several star performers this year were snubbed from the awards nominees despite being outstanding performers. Boity was even nominated for an Album award yet she doesn’t even have one.
Cassper Nyovest was snubbed too. Kelly Khumalo recently told the organisers of the awards to pull her songs out of the awards after she felt that she deserved more and the awards were biased as they left out many top performers who raised the bar for Mzansi across the continent.
The main topical issue was the snubbing of Makhadzi. Yes, she was snubbed by the SAMAs this year and it seems her fans will not be taking it lying down.
Taking to social media, many Makhadzi fans raged over how the awards seem to have an aversion to artists from Limpopo. This comes after Limpopo-born Master KG was also rejected after he submitted Jerusalema for consideration.
“The SAMAs fails to recognize Limpopo”: Mzansi fumes over Makhadzi snub
Well, it seems as if Limpopo is not taken into consideration when it comes to SAMAs because this is no the first time Limpopo artist have been snubbed.
Makhadzi was snubbed by the South African Music Awards (SAMAs) this year. The artist shared her disappointment on social media and Mzansi has her back. Taking to social media, many fans pointed out that the awards authority has snubbed two Limpopo artists in a row.
However last year, Master KG was snubbed for his Jerusalema track and this year, the Limpopo-born Makhadzi received the same treatment. Mzansi did weigh into the matter with its two cents. Here are some of the comments that flooded the comments section.
@kemodisi said: “I really feel sorry for Makhadzi, imagine working hard and not get recognised then booooom, Boity gets recognised just because she is ‘Boity’… hai bophelo ke dijo tsa Uncle Tito.”
@thatohassen said: “I’m not a fan of Makhadzi’s music but what the #SAMA27 did is disrespectful. This woman puts blood and sweat into her music, she deserves respect.”
@princesa_2021 said: “It’s clear, #SAMA27 hates Limpopo. First, it was Master KG with Jerusalema. Now Makhadzi. When is all this going to end?”
@vhomrapper said: “Makhadzi gets snubbed again by the #SAMA27 after giving us one of the best albums last year, she was supposed to be the most nominated artist this year…”
@shaunkeyz said: “I don’t like what they’re doing to Makhadzi, she submitted to the SAMAs but didn’t get nominated, with all these good songs?? Na man.”
