SATMA Awards 2012 results: Saba Mbixane wins again


By Zuziwe    28-Oct-2012 00:16 UTC+02:00 54

Saba Mbixane of Umhlobo Wenene FM surprised many people (especially uKhozi FM listeners) on Saturday when he won two highly coveted awards for the second time in a row at the 7th Annual SATMA (Awards) in East London, beating more than 10 other nominees.

Most people expected uKhozi FM’s Utalagu (two popular traditional music Djs – Tshathugodo Ngobe and Ngizwe Mchunu) to win the Best Traditional Dj award because of the high listenership of their station. Their show, Sigiya Ngengoma, was also expected to win the Best Traditional music radio program award. However, Mbixane took both awards.

UKhozi FM’s listenership soared significantly  this year, reaching a staggering 7.3 million. Umhlobo Wenene FM on the other hand has a listenership of about 5 million, according to their website.

Detailed results will be published later on.

    Wajika Talagu sewadliwa kanje. Akugcini lapho o sengidliwa izikhathi zilandelana. Na-last year kwakuyiso lesi. Uyazi ungibangela umona. Wenza ngani unababalaleli abangaka? Shiya umona dah. Yandisa kwi-ngevu unciphise emculweni, uzoyisutha induku.

    Baphethwe kukuphapha lamathatha otalagu izobasutha induku. Uprogramme director kufuneka abashintshe kube wumuntu oyedwa oshayela uhlelo. Basezayisutha induku. Inani labalaleli bathi likhuphukile liyasisolisa thina singabanye. Kuyafana nalena ye-ANC KWAZULU NATAL ukuthi ikhuphuke kangaka. Asazi noma bathanda i-ANC okanye uZuma sobona makuqoqwa.

    Ukuwina kukaMbixane akusho ukuthi uhlelo lwakhe luncono kunoSigiya ngengoma. Uwakhankasele amavoti uMbixane ezindaweni ezahlukene & Umhlobo wenene is another giant on its own. Utalagu rocks. They r the best noma kungathiwani. Bebezowina ukube uKhozi lwenze kahle i-marketing yalo. Abalaleli boKhozi bese bekhathele bevotiselwa izinto eziningi kanyekanye. I-yabiza i-artime. Next time they must promote one or 2 categories at a time.

  9. Feziwe says:

    @Mandlakhe I fully agree with you. @Carolnomonde ngiyaphika. Siyavota bo. Inkinga bayakhohlwa wukuthi i-airtime iyabiza bese besivotisela izinto eziningi. Besisanda kuvotela uKhaya nje. Kwadingeka siphinde sivotele ama-categories amathathu wonke, kuzoba abaculi abahlukene, izimbongi, nosomahlaya. Amavoti abengeke angabi diluted.

  10. Mhlaziyi says:

    Angikholwa wukuthi ayabalwa amavoti. Basivotisela ukwenza imali nje (fundraising). Ubokwazi ukuthi ivoti lakho alisho lutho uma kuthiwa vota noma yikangaki. Ekugcineni isinqumo sithathwa amajaji.

  13. Bongs says:

    UKhozi luzoke luthi ukundizela phansi kancane luhlukane nokuchoma ngokuthi lihlula zonke iziteshi ngabalaleli. Yikho lokuchoma okwenzele phansi uTalagu. Ubani obengazikhathaza ngokuvota bekhona abanye abalaleli abaningi kangaka. Kubalulekile ukuthi izinto ezinje zenzeke. Zifundisa abantu ukuzehlisa bangathathi abanye for granted ziphinde zibakhuthaze ukuthi bazimisele kwabakwenzayo.

  19. Thenji says:

    Abantu abayi nganxanye bengemanzi. Sithanda izinto ezingafani so akekho umuntu oyoke athokozise wonke umuntu. There’s nothing wrong with uTalagu. UMbixane wumuntu omdala kulomkhakha & ukumehlula akusiyo into elula. Why abantu babe serious kanje? Kuzobhora phela uma sekuyingoma 1 way. Abaqhubeke bashaye ingoma ngapha, ingevu ngapha.

  31. mZulumpondo says:

    Hhayi u Saba wayevele ehamba yedwa kwakudala. votes does not decide, otherwise there will be no judges but only the auditors to audit the votes. Voting is just the way to raise funds for the event. but Saba is very strong to be challenged by Tshatha and Ngizwe, I also think banengevu 3 much these guys and bayaqina isikhathi esiningi.

  32. Zack says:

    It’s true, votes don’t decide. But that’s a top secret. Ukhozi FM listeners are very loyal when it comes to voting. Even Mpanza, the station manager, was happy with the high number of votes.

  33. lindani mpanza says:

    USaba Mbixane uyena yedwa ever since obambe uTalagu engalugijimisanga

    Abaphulaphuli boKhozi baninzi kunaboMhlobo Wenene, kutshiwo, but the same can’t be said about their loyalty. USaba ebengaqali kakade ukuphumelela, futhi ndingatsho ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo ukuba akagqibelanga.IZawa lisasakubakhupha begilana kanye kwesi sabo (Ngizwe noTshatha) isibaya, njengesiqhelo.
