| It was all glitz and glamour as the who's who of South African music assembled at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg on Thursday, April 5, 2001, for the annual South African Music Awards (SAMA). The event, sponsored this
year by Standard Bank, attracted the leading lights in the industry and a
long list of hopeful nominees -- ranging from veteran singers like Miriam
Makeba as well as up and coming artists such as the young rhythm and blues
vocalist TK and the popular Boom Shaka singer Lebo. And on hand to
witness the other awards, the outfits, the style and the music at the SAMA
awards in Joburg was AllAfrica.com's Ofeibea Quist-Arcton, armed with her
digital camera.
