The only public broadcaster Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) has on Wednesday released top nominees from seven categories of its Entertainers of the Year Awards gala slated for December 30,2023 at Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe.
CWT Auditors, who were tasked with the job of overseeing the nomination process, announced top three nominees from each category as nominated by the public through an SMS voting system.
Among the categories that have been nominated for, include sports, drama, music, comedy, social media, radio and television.
Some of the individuals appearing on the list include musicians Zeze Kingston, Driemo, Black Missionaries while in the sports category the teams appearing include Nyasa Big Bullets, Chitipa United and Mighty Mukuru Wanderers.
Chairperson for the awards organising committee Zilani Khonje Phiri said they have tried their best to make the process as credible and independent as possible.
“The nominations are representative of what Malawians feel have entertained them this year. It shows that the journey is on and the culmination of all this will be on December 30 during the awards,” she said.
MBC started Entertainers of the Year Awards in 1970 and it was discontinued in 2005.
This year, the current Corporation’s Director General George Kasakula has brought back the event as part of resetting things at the media organisation.
