“The COMAs will honour and acknowledge great contributions made by isicathamiya groups dating back from the era of Solomon Linda who created the globally known classic Imbube, and also acknowledge the current isicathamiya artists who are the torch bearers of this iconic music genre,” said Albert Mazibuko.
