Mayhem at the SAMAs (SA Music Awards)

In true SA style, there was drama on the night of the SAMAs (hosted at Montecasino for the first time) when some of those who were on the judges panel for the event didn't even get a seat due to poor organising!

Ukhozi FM's DJ Sgqemeza was one of those who ended up watching the awards from home - "We [the judges] went the extra mile during the judging and gave our best, but then we didn't get the treatment we deserved on the big night," he said.

The awards evening, moved from Sun City to Montecasino this year to make it more accessible to fans, went from bad to worse when some award winners reportedly took up to three minutes to reach the stage! People were ushers to wrong entrances, and 45 min into the show while some people were still fight to get into the door others were stumbling to find their seats!

Lets hope they learn something for next year!
