11 November 2024- The North West Media Awards (NWMA) organisers said they are excited to reveal this year’s esteemed hosts for the ceremony. The organisers said the stage will be graced by three prominent figures, Jones “Blaq Gzus” Modibane, Berlina Lekgethwane, and You FM’s beloved presenter, Sydney “Sydnature” Letsapa.
The NWMA chairperson, Ananius Ndlovu said these accomplished individuals, each a powerhouse in their own right, will guide the night’s celebrations at the Orion Safari Hotel in Rustenburg on 6 December 2024. Ndlovu said the hosts will showcase the very best of North West province’s talent and dedication to excellence.
“Letsapa, who is better known as Sydnature, brings a wealth of broadcasting experience to the event, with a career spanning two decades across both commercial and community radio.
A North West University (NWU) graduate with a BA in Communication and a BSc Honours in Political Studies and International Relations, Letsapa has been a trusted voice in South African media since 2004,” said Ndlovu.
He further said known for his humility and skill, Letsapa is a proud North West native, committed to highlighting local stories and voices. Ndlovu added that Lekgethwane was recently crowned Mrs World Peace 2024 and Mrs Worldwide Special Queen Ambassador.
“She is celebrated for her contributions to women and youth empowerment. As the CEO of the Berlina Lekgethwane Foundation, she has dedicated herself to community development, championing diversity, inclusion, and collaboration.
“Lekgethwane’s awards and ambassadorships underscore her commitment to social progress and inspire others to contribute to the region’s growth,” he said.
Ndlovu said Modibane, who is an all-around entertainer, comedian, and arts advocate, will bring his charisma and humour to the stage. He said Modibane is known for his work as Motsweding FM’s movie reviewer and as the creator of Rustenburg’s Annual Platinum Comedy Show.
“He embodies the energy and spirit of North West’s vibrant arts scene. His work with the Joyous Celebration DVD recordings and as a finalist in SABC’s 2014 World Cup Presenter Search, has made him a familiar face in the entertainment industry.
“So, join us for an unforgettable night as these three icons guide us through a celebration of local media talent and community leadership at the North West Media Awards 2024,” he said.
