The nominations for the annual ‘DStv Content Creator Awards’ have been announced and the list boasts an impressive number of Mzansi’s faves.

Comedian Donovan Goliath, Siv Ngesi and slain rapper AKA were among the stars who received multiple nominations.

The nominees attended a special event at the Hallmark House in Johannesburg on Thursday for the announcement.

Among them were Lynn Forbes who stood in for her late rapper son AKA, who was nominated twice in the “Song of the Year Award” category.

The legendary rapper made his mom proud in by breaking barriers in the entertainment industry even in death.

A few days before the nominations were announced, Forbes posted a picture of herself and AKA, with the caption: “This world was not enough for you. You fulfilled your purpose and left your mark. There is nothing left for me to do but to preserve your legacy, the masterpiece that you have already built.

“It’s a complete work of art and it will live on forever in it’s own right, without me. I will honour you and preserve your memory, to the best of my ability, for the rest of my life. 💜🙏🏽”

The awards are all about honouring content creators who have been bringing joy to the country with content that had many of us double tapping on social media.

Tshepiso Sathekge, who is the Senior Manager: Sponsorship, Multichoice SA, said: “Looking at the calibre of the nominees this year, it reaffirms DStv’s commitment to being the title sponsor of DStv Content Creator Awards.

“As the home of entertainment and Africa’s leading storyteller, we partner with other platforms that recognise and profile our new set of narrators and talented creators from across the country.

“We are also excited to see which creator will walk away with the DStv Content of the Year Award trophy, the biggest category of the year.”
