Kabza De Small and Mthunzi scoop four Metro FM music gongs

Kabelo Motha, known as Kabza De Small alongside Mthunzi Ndimande, walked away victorious on Saturday night for their hit song Imithandazo.

Kabza and Mthunzi scooped four Metro FM Music Awards for Song of the Year, Best Amapiano, Best Produced Album, and Best Collaboration.


The Metro FM Music Awards took place at the Mbombela Stadium and were hosted by Tebogo ProVerb Thekisho and Luthando LootLove Shosha.

Speaking to Sunday World about the win, Mthunzi said he was grateful to have been given a chance by Kabza De Small and dedicated the win to his late mother.

“I am so honoured and now stressed out about what I will release next. Song of the Year goes to my mother for actually being the first person to believe in me and my talent,” he said.

In a previous interview with Sunday World, he shared that, after being away from the limelight, the collaboration on the Isimo EP gave life to his music career.

“I was quiet for quite some time and I was looking for something to make my comeback with. It was the perfect way to come back. And with Kabza being a bigger brand, it gave me exposure that I wasn’t anticipating,” he said.

Mthunzi wanted to challenge himself, and the amapiano genre was something he wanted to explore.
