Hey it's that time of the year, the Metro FM awards are on the way. The ceremony will be held in Nelspruit again. I am not sure whether at Mbombela Stadium like last year. I hope not. Can they find a much more glam place to hold the awards at? Last year it was like some cheap local event. It was not nice at all.
Anyway.... last night they held a nominees party where they announced this year's nominated artists for the awards. The most nominated artist is obvious the new sensation, Zahara as it was expected.
