Proverb says, “It is an honour to host the MetroFM Awards 2024. The SA music scene is constantly filled with rich, vibrant stories of our ever resilient and evolving country and the nominated artists are testament to this.”

Luthando “Lootlove” Shosha will bring a distinct flair to the programme, as the radio and television presenter recently returned to MetroFM to co-host ‘The Touchdown’ with Thabo “Tbo Touch” Molefe.

Lootlove says, “I'm thrilled and deeply honoured to be hosting the 2024 edition of the MetroFM Music Awards. It's also a monumental career moment, as I step into the role of hosting my first awards ceremony. I'm eager to bring joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments to the awards show, alongside Proverb. Here is to creating magic together on screen. ‘Black To The Future’, indeed!”

The station has lined up a dynamic team to hold down the entire awards night. TV personality and co-host of ‘The Penthouse Sessions’, Lamiez Holworthy and 5FM’s Afternoon Drive presenter Zanele Potelwa, will co-host and capture all the winners thrill from the ‘Green Room’.

The ‘Best Mornings’ host DJ Sabby and SABC 1 presenter, Nomalanga Shozi will bring all the action from the Motsepe Foundation sponsored ‘Black Carpet’.

This year’s event takes place against the backdrop of 30 years of South Africa’s democracy. The station is honoring this with the theme ‘Black To The Future’, which is a celebration of the achievements and contributions of black artists in the music industry.

Kina Nhlengethwa, MetroFM’s business manager states, “SA music is thriving, attracting new audiences globally and inspiring black excellence. It was only fitting that this year’s theme be carried by some of the industry’s best presenters, who bring a wealth of knowledge about diverse facets of the SA arts and entertainment scene.”

The awards will be broadcast live on SABC 1 and streaming service SABC Plus, at 8pm on 27 April 2024.
