ubuntu activism award
|
Ubuntu Activism consists of efforts to promote, impede, direct, or intervene in social, economic, or environmental reform with the desire to make changes in society toward a perceived greater good using hip hop as a tool. This award is mainly to reward a hip hop activist who is giving back to his/her community. Since this award was introduced in 2018 we only had 4 activists to win this category mainly aewon wolf , emile , Enzo & Big Zulu I like to encourage that hip hop has a small number of community activists who like to bring change in their communities. To be nominated for this award you have to be with your community & organise a huge project for social & economic development These Economic Development should have programs, job creation or activities that seek to improve the economic well-being and quality of life of your people. You might be the next Emile or Enzo who interacts with their communities & build a better social infrastructure to give back to his community.

THE 11 ANNUAL SOUTH AFRICAN HIP HOP AWARDs
|
|
The South African Hip Hop Awards (SAHHA) are an annual Hip-Hop award ceremony, run by the Ritual Media Group (RMG). Great achievements within the local hip hop culture will be celebrated by focusing on how the past has shaped this phenomenon called “SA Hip Hop”. Accolades will be given to active members within the industry. Winners receive a statue that is called a Pyramid which symbolises Africans reaching for success. The show will feature live performances by some of the nominees and will be pre-recorded for TV broadcast purposes.
After a three-month selection process a board of four industry gurus were chosen to fill advisory positions. The role of the advisory board serves to guide the awards in terms of fairness and for the awards to go strength to strength, as these candidates have no hidden agendas in the Hip Hop industry |

The South African Hip Hop Awards (SAHHA) started in 2012. They are organised by Ritual Media Group (RMG).
The very first ceremony was held at Alex Theatre in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, and the ceremony has since moved to Lyric Theatre in Gold Reef City, Johannesburg. The event was initially televised on ETV, but has since moved to MTV Base. The SAHHAs honour every element of SA Hip Hop and the event has been growing exponentially every year. The South African Hip Hop Awards (SAHHA) are known for breaking SA Hip Hop artists. Most big name rappers won their first ever award at the SAHHAs, ie Cassper Nyovest, IFani, EmTee, Nasty C, Tumi (Stogie T), Reason, Miss Pru DJ, to name but a few who later went on to become superstars. The SAHHA ceremony is held every year within the first 2 weeks of December |
