Actress and Sama winner Madida took to her Instagram timeline to share her exciting news and said she couldn't wait to rock the stage.
“When I accepted my first Sama in 2020 for my collaboration with K.O, Say U Will, I would not have imagined I would be hosting just two years later. I am humbled to have been trusted with this honour and look forward to bringing unforgettable moments to the #SAMA28 stage alongside my co-hosts,” she said.
Maleka will be returning as a host after previously hosting the ceremony alongside Bontle Modiselle in 2021.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE when he walked away with two DStv Mzansi Viewers' Choice Awards, he told TshisaLIVE he was grateful his success had not come not overnight and that he had put in the hard work.
“Having walked away with two awards on the night, what stood out for me is ... it's the testament to the work. It became clear to the viewers, the people at home, that the work I do, people resonate with it — and for me that's the most important thing,” he said.
