MTV Base has announced that its yearly music awards, MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA), will hold on Saturday, June 7, 2014, at the Durban International Convention Centre in Durban, South Africa.
The announcement was made at a press conference in Durban by Alex Okosi, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Viacom International Media Networks.
It’s the first time the event will be holding since 2010.
There will be plaques up for grabs in 13 categories including Best Male, Best Female and Best New Act.
The award ceremony will be preceded by three ‘Road to MAMA’ concerts in Durban, Lagos, and Nairobi, building up to the main show. The concerts, which will take place in April and May 2014, will feature MAMA nominees alongside other local artistes and DJs.
