DStv is thrilled to announce that Lawrence Maleka will host the fourth instalment of the popular awards show. The beloved TV personality, who was recently the host of Big Brother Mzansi and is also known for his role as Zolani on 1Magic’s The River, brings his trademark charm and humour to the proceedings.
Maleka is a vibrant presenter who is more than capable of hosting a star-studded evening such as this. He has been a part of the channel family and DStv has absolute confidence in his delivery.
In the time since the last awards ceremony and amid the corona virus pandemic, South Africa has produced many praiseworthy talents. These talented creatives will now have their chance to be celebrated.
Nyiko Shiburi, CEO of MultiChoice South Africa, said that the company prides itself on being at the forefront of storytelling on the continent and they celebrate the greatness of the talent in South Africa.
“We are excited to be back on stage and on screen for the 2022 DStv Mzansi Viewers’ Choice Awards. The nominees are all deserving but the only way to make sure your favourite wins is to vote! Through the MyDStv App and on the Mzansi Magic website you can make your voice heard and guarantee that your star of choice walks away with an award,” added Shiburi.
The DMVCAs have steadily grown in popularity over the years and are an unmissable event on the local calendar.
DStv viewers also stand a chance to win: one of three KIA vehicles, and all it takes is casting a vote for your favourite nominee.
Voting via the MyDStv App and on www.mzansimagic.tv/dstvmvca closes on 11 June 2022.
