The MKHMAs, as they are affectionately known, not only celebrate and honour musicians who have contributed to the growth of the kwaito and house genres in South Africa, but also serve to showcase and develop upcoming talent.
Four categories have been added for 2018 including the popular Gqom genre which is a fusion of the kwaito and house genres.
Apart from the nominated musicians, radio personalities could also bag themselves a coveted award at the third annual MKHMAs.
“We are honoured to provide the stage for the 2018 MKHMAs, and look forward to welcoming some of the biggest, as well as upcoming, kwaito and house artists to the Big Top Arena.
“This event promises to be a spectacular treat for fans of kwaito and house,” said Michelle Smith, the marketing manager for Carnival City.
