• The performances! On top of everything, the event can also be likened to a festival. Except this wouldn’t be just any festival, it would be the one festival everyone talks about. The line up of performances features a vast variety of the continent’s most gifted artists. The fact that different musical backgrounds and influences will be in the same stage on the night will make for a fascinating experience.

• Speaking of the performances, a lot of the choreography is in the super gifted hands (and feet, in this regard) of Somizi Mhlongo himself! Those familiar with the critically acclaimed choreographer will know that he has put together some of the country’s most spectacular choreographies, including the FIFA World Cup.

• The Fashion. For those of you who love the sight of good fabric thrown together stylishly on a group of superstars will be thrilled in gazing at the different fashions painting the night all sorts of cool colours. But then of course, let it not be forgotten that artists do not always follow conventional standards of fashion. Expect some avant garde turn ups.

• There are different genres from different parts of Africa and that makes for a true ‘something for everyone’ vibe. Imagine going from hip hop to afro pop, kwaito then dance in one night. Perhaps even back to back. The CHOAMVAs are the place.
