Gqeberha will be represented at this year’s Metro FM Music Awards (MMAs) in Mbombela, Mpumalanga, as two of the city’s exports, Luthando Shosha and Siyabonga Ngwekazi, were announced as the main hosts.

“I’m thrilled to collaborate with Luthando for the first time, and I’m grateful to Metro FM for providing a platform for us to showcase our skills and talents,” the television presenter and cultural commentator said.
The station announced the pair as the main hosts for this year’s edition. The Metros also said that Dineo Ranaka and Hip-Hop artist L-Tido will host in the Green Room, interviewing winners as they step off-stage.
