Legendary DJ, producer and music entrepreneur Oskido is set to make history at the 32nd South African Music Awards. The Recording Industry of South Africa (RiSA) confirmed that he will walk away with not one but two of the SAMAs' most prestigious honours at the upcoming ceremony.
Oskido's SAMA32 double honour
RiSA revealed that Oskido will receive a pair of the South African Music Awards' highest accolades at SAMA32, which is sponsored by the Motsepe Foundation. The announcement has shone a spotlight on the veteran musician's extraordinary contribution to South African music over the decades.
SAMA spokesperson Unati Gwija spoke to the significance of the Lifetime Achievement Award, making clear that it carries a weight far beyond simply recognising how long someone has been in the industry.

"The Lifetime Achievement Award is more than a recognition of longevity; it is a celebration of those whose artistry has shaped the soundtrack of our nation, inspired generations and paved the way for the next wave of South African talent. It reminds us of the importance of honouring our cultural architects while they are still with us to witness the impact of their life's work," Gwija said.
Oskido's SAMAs run
This will not be Oskido's first time being recognised by the SAMAs. The accolade adds to a career that has already been acknowledged by the industry on previous occasions, cementing his status as one of the most influential figures in the South African music landscape.
Throughout his career, Oskido has been a driving force behind the sounds that define South African popular music, nurturing talent and shaping the industry from both behind the decks and behind the scenes as a music entrepreneur.
