“Our entertainment line-up is very special,” said executive director Dawn Lindberg.
But these world-famous artists won’t be the only ones taking a bow on the night. “For the first time we have the full Johannesburg Youth Orchestra Company, conducted by Eddie Clayton,” said Lindberg. “All music has been specially arranged for the event and singers will perform to live music.” Other all-star entertainers include Candida Mosoma from Sister Act; Sharon Spiegel Wagner from I’m Playing Your Song; Somizi Mhlongo of Idols fame; Jonathan Roxmouth and Charon Williams-Ros, who will perform a spoof from Sweeney Todd together; and Timothy Moloi who will perform The Impossible Dream.
Presenters joining the award winners beneath the spotlight include comedian, Mark Banks, who will MC the event with radio and TV star Bridget Masinga. More than 30 awards will be presented by local celebrities like: Nataniël, Tobie Cronje, Maps Maponyane, Tema Sebopedi, Motlatsi Mafatshe, Atandwa Kani, Naledi’s chairman Dali Tambo and other luminaries from the stage and screen.
Tickets are available on Computicket at R350 and include cocktails, entertainment and the chance to rub shoulders with the country’s top celebrities and performers.
