Lufuna Phalandwa was one of the night's biggest winners at this year's Limpopo Gospel Music Awards (LIGMA) which was hosted at Sun Meropa Casino and Conference Centre.
POLOKWANE – Phalandwa walked away with new comer of the year as well as the best Gospel male artist while Minister Lombard Matshinge scooped best Gospel praise song and best Gospel song of the year. Gospel legend, Itani Madima was honoured with a lifetime achievement award and thanked his fans for their support.
The awards were hosted by Hlekani Shikwambana as well as Sebasa ‘The Supa Dupa’ Mogale and attended by politicians, local entertainment industry representatives, government, local media houses and the general public. According to Ligma coordinator, Augustine Nethononda the awards went well. “We are pleased by the number of participants who took part in this year’s edition and we urge all Gospel artists from Limpopo, in particular those who are still at developmental phase, to jump at this opportunity as we believe it will open doors for them to grow and become established artists,” said Nethononda.
Phalandwa said he was humbled and thanked all his fans for voting for him. “God has been with me this year. After winning the crown Gospel award, I had an appetite for more and God granted my wishes. These awards will motivate me to keep producing good quality music and I still want to learn a lot more from established musicians,” said Phalandwa.
