27 Sep 2018

The winners of the second annual Dance Music Awards South Africa (DMASA) were recently announced at a closed ceremony held in Boksburg, Ekurhuleni. The honouree dinner was hosted by the City of Ekurhuleni and attended by nominees, industry players, and media.

Fans were given the chance to openly nominate their top five favourites followed by a finalist voting selection which closed last week. The online votes were tallied up by an independent auditing company and the winners were announced live at the dinner as well as online.

The 'Pioneers of Dance Award’, an accolade which pays homage and gives recognition to a legendary dance music contributor was also announced at this year’s ceremony. This is the one award not voted for by the public but rather by dance music industry players. The recipient of this year’s award went to living legend DJ Ganyani ‘Master G’ Tshabalala.
