From the excitement that started with the social media conversation, "When I was XXI…" to the frenzy around nominee announcements, including the hype that came with the KIA Record of the Year nominees and the acknowledgment of lifetime and international achievements, it has now come to the culmination of the XXI South African Music Awards: the ceremony.

During the final days leading up to the XXI South African Music Awards, where people should vote as much as they possibly can for the KIA Record of the Year, take the chance to buy tickets to the ceremony, get their outfits ready for the red carpet and their dance moves in place for the live performances. This is the ultimate 21st birthday bash; the ultimate celebration of South African music and those who have contributed to it over the years.

Don’t miss the live broadcast of the XXI annual South African Music Awards on Sunday, 19 April, on SABC1 from 20:00. Watch the ceremony live on the mobisite, or witness all the action in person at the Superbowl by booking a ticket through Computicket.
