Roger Goode, Nomuzi Mabena at MTV Video Music Awards

The awards, in association with Sprite and powered by MTN, take place at the Forum, Inglewood, California on Sunday, 24 August. The show premieres live on MTV on Monday, 25 August at 3am CAT, with the primetime premiere later the same day at 9pm CAT (red carpet show at 8pm CAT).

Goode will be here, there and everywhere on MTV during MTV's VMA Weekend (30-31 August noon to 7pm CAT), hosting the entire weekend and introducing MTV's best shows from LA and VMA 2014.

In a unique partnership between MTV and 5FM, Goode will also be giving the inside track on the VMA on his weekday 5FM radio show from 18-25 August (4-7pm CAT), with special daily VMA reports from LA-LA land, including highlights, backstage gossip, gigs, interviews and more.

Mabena will be in the thick of the VMA action too, co-hosting links and clips with Goode from the red carpet of the VMA on Monday, 25 August from 3-8pm on MTV.

"This is going to be a crazy adventure, bringing you the back streets of LA, the front seats of the VMA and some red carpet madness. Nomuzi and I are taking over the VMA whether they like it or not," says Goode.

Mabena added, "I remember watching the awards on TV only a few years ago and seeing those iconic moments. It's a dream come true that I'll be able to see what the awards will have in store for people this year and report back and, with Nicki Minaj in attendance, I'm expecting something electric."
