Let me ask you this: Do you like South Africa? Do you like music? Do you like it when good people win prizes for doing phenomenal work? Do you like having the right to vote?
THEN THE MK AWARDS ARE FOR YOU!
This year's theme is all about sparking a revolution. Not a bad way to kick off 2012, I think. The awards take place up North this year, at the Pretoria State Theatre on 23 March. With 11 categories and countless favourites to choose from, you better get voting, as it closes at 12:00 on the 1st of March 2012.
Today I'm posting a few of my personal favourites in every category, with links for you to click on so I can save you time and energy in the voting process, and make sure the best band wins. Get clicking.
