Other highlights of the evening included a moving acoustic guitar tribute to the late, great Nelson Mandela by Afro-Soul star Simphiwe Dana, who performed in front of a giant timelapse video artwork by street artist Rasty, while Ladysmith Black Mambazo brought the house to its feet with their unexpected mash up "Acappello" and "Y-tjukutja".

The uplifting music spectacular culminated with all the artists assembled on stage for a medley of French Montana songs including "Pop That", "Freaks" and "Ain't Worried About Nothin!"

Legendary stand-up comic, film and television sensation Marlon Wayans hosted MAMA 2014 with his trademark humour, making a triumphant entrance on a blinged-up rickshaw and engaging the audience with his easy charm.
