Music's biggest night, the South African Music Awards, has officially announced the hosts for the 2025 event.
The seasoned broadcaster and music lover, Sccop Makhanthini, will be working his magic alongside Pamela Mtanga on the SAMAs stage this December.
As fans count down to music's biggest night, the SAMAs have announced what they can expect from this year's event.
What to expect from SAMAs 2025
This year's hosts have made a name for themselves in the entertainment space and have become formidable forces. Scoop Makhathini not only serves fashion on a random Tuesday, but he has also hosted some of the most iconic TV shows in Mzansi. This year, he hosted the Metro FM Music Awards.
Pamela is becoming a household name as her resume slowly builds up, one hosting gig at a time. Her most recent biggest hosting event was the Miss South Africa 2025 beauty pageant.
The SAMAs shared with Briefly News, why Scoop and Pamela are the right fit for the event. They stated that they are continuing their mission to honour excellence through their presenters. Scoop and Mtanga are just what they have been looking for, saying they will turn the hybrid show into something memorable.
The SAMAs are taking on a fresh theme this year, giving the artists their flowers while they can still smell them. Flowers For Those Who Keep Our Nation Singing is the SAMAs' way of handing over the flowers to the artists who have been keeping Mzansi dancing and singing.
“We wanted to celebrate artists not just for their achievements, but for their courage to create.”
It is without a doubt that Pamela and Scoop will provide a fresh and vibrant show, which will honour the artists and what they brought to Mzansi after cooking in the kitchen for so long.
The event will take place on 17 December 2025.
