Kora Music Awards postponed

Kora Music Awards, in which Malawian musician Piksy has been nominated for the category of Best Male-Southern Africa, has been postponed to a date to be announced later.

According to event organisers, the event has been postponed due to hitches in clearing equipment for the launch.

“In early February, our supplier alerted us to the necessity of securing clearance for the Dome and the equipment to cross the border from South Africa into Namibia.

“We immediately commenced with efforts to secure this clearance with the relevant authorities to enable the crossover.

“Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we have to date, not received the clearance to enable our supplier to move the structure and equipment into Namibia in time for a March 20th event date. As we speak, we are still pursuing this crucial waiver.

“As such, we have had to take the difficult decision to postpone the Kora All-Africa Music Awards,” reads a statement from Anoh Herman Nyamke who is the personal assistant to the Kora Awards president Ernest Coovi Adjovi.

Piksy confirmed the postponement of the ceremony, which was due to take place in Namibia on March 20.

Commenting on the postponement, Piksy said he was not affected saying he will carry on with the campaign.

“Who knows this will work to my advantage to intensify campaign for the votes from fans,” he said. n
