I’m looking forward to an incredible night celebrating the very best of South African music talent,” LootLove said.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scoop Makhathini also shared his excitement, “I’m looking forward to being part of this exciting event that’s at the forefront of celebrating South African music. As a passionate advocate for creativity and the music industry, I believe South African artists deserve regular recognition. I’m thrilled to collaborate with Luthando for the first time, and I’m grateful to Metro FM for providing a platform for us to showcase our skills and talents.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
