Bantwini, who features on the award-winning song Bayethe, dedicated the award to his late parents, while Kellerman said it was a win for all South Africans.
This marks the fourth time Kellerman has won a Grammy award.
Took me 17 years to find my path,
I have no words to express the emotions and grace that have come over me.
This moment is owed to my late Mother & Father.
I’m grateful
Unkulu’ Nkulu uNumber 1!!!!
