All eyes will be watching the Song of the Year, category. This is a hotly-contested category and all the right songs are nominated.
The winner of the category might just stir drama among fans, hard to forget how fans felt when Dlala Thukzins song iPlan featuring Zaba and Sykes didn't win Ukhozi FM Song of the Year.
