The annual South African Music Awards (SAMA26), finally aired on Monday night, on Mzansi Magic, but not everyone was pleased after viewing the prestigious show.
SAMA’s failure to award Ami Faku the Best Newcomer Of The Year category which was won by Ndabo Zulu and Umgidi Ensemble got fans pissed off.
People are being hopeful that she secures a win or more for the remaining 2 nods bagged.
The award is a five-night broadcast event from the 3-7 August.
However, Twitter users claim Ami got robbed of her win, as she deserves the Best Newcomer of the year award, due to her singles which went platinum and gold.
Reactions be like:

@Ami_Faku Her song even went platinum but she didn’t receive that New comer award, no there’s something that doesn’t add up here after Ami faku had such an influence in the industry this last December and the hit she made with Sun El . Into ingawe #SAMA26 pic.twitter.com/bWIGWcFOT2
