The 9th Annual SATMA Awards were held at the University of Fort Hare in the Eastern Cape this year. They were split into two events. The first event was held on Friday, 17 October 2014 and the second one on Saturday. There were 37 categories in total. Saba Mbixane won the Best Traditional DJ award again this year. This came as no surprise to most Maskandi fans. Mbixane has won this award four times in a row since 2011. The Best Maskandi Album went to Amageza Amahle for their new album, Isisu Somkhwenyana. Umhlobo Wenene FM won the Best Radio Station award.

Judging by the comments of fans on social media, it seems like interest in SATMA Awards somewhat dwindled in KZN since the awards were moved to the Eastern Cape. Last year, it was reported that they would be hosted in KZN in 2015.
Siyabulela ngoMhlobo Wenene,ngoLavuth’ibhayi,kunye nomsasazi obagqwese bonke uSaba “The Legend” Mbixane.
Halala Saba ka Mbixane no Mhlobo Wenene. My culture, yo culture One Nation. Big up to all the organisors you have made this Eastern Cape gal residing in Gauteng proud. Ayeye EC Department of Arts and Culture, Ayeye. Mama Majodina, thank you for raising the bar.
I think Satma should also move to another provinces not only Eastern Cape, people are now losing interest in our awards, why Eastern cape every year
Wht happened to ukhozi fm. We’re they not participating this year. Basaba uSaba Mbixane koluhlobo lokungafuni nozama!
SATMA saba,SATMA umhlobowenene,SATMA Lavuth’ibhayi…yinto enye leyo…..andiyazi ukuba abantu bezinye izikhululo bayoze bayiqonde nini lonto….Thina baphulaphuli bomhlobowenene siyazingca ngesikhululo sethu…..isikhululo esihloniphe iimvumi zooonke ,hayi nje ezesixhosa kuphela..
“if uthi ndenza ngeyeza hambo funa elakho!” siyabulela Dj Manapukeni

Ingxaki okhozini fm,luyisizulu too much,inkqubo isigiyangengoma ingena ide iyophela kudlalwa umculo wesizulu,abaculi bamaskande waseEC,banqabile okhozini,nama-interviews nje ngabaculi beseKZN okhozini,yilonto ebalimazayo

Kahleni bo, ukungawini akusho ukuthi awuzange uwungenele umncintiswano. Ukhozi Fm belukhona ohlwini lwama-nominees, but aluzange luwine lutho.
