When are the Awards?

The South African Music Awards 2017 will take place at the Sun City Superbowl.

For those who are familiar with the awards, you should recognise the venue. This will be the 15th time that the SAMA’s will take place at the Superbowl.

Nhlanhla Sibisi commented: “It’s such a delight to be returning to Sun City. The convenience it brings during a weekend of celebration makes it the ideal location for us.” Sibisi is the CEO of RiSA, the company in charge of organising the awards for 2017.

In and Around the Event

Because of the very nature of the event, hundreds of musicians from around the country will be in Sun City. Every year around the SAMA’s the local music nightlife takes off. Out of town musicians often make a mini tour out of the event. So, even if you are unable to attend the awards yourself, there will be plenty of opportunities to watch some of the acts.
