The muso also dedicated his award to young South Africans, ‘saying anything is possible’.
“This award is not just for us, it’s for everyone back home. This moment is [a] testament to the fact that our dreams are valid and we can accomplish anything we set our minds on. I want every young kid in the ghetto in South Africa to dream big and believe that we deserve to be recognised on the biggest stages in the world. Thank you to my team at IMG Africa, my collaborators Wouter Kellerman and Nomcebo Zikode, and everyone who’s been supporting us along this journey,” he said in a statement.
Zakes’ business partner and manager Sibo Mhlungu added that this was a special moment for them as a team. “When Zakes and I started this company a year and a half ago, our goal was always to compete on the world stage. This moment didn’t come by chance – we prepared for it and we spoke it into existence. Big congratulations are due to my team and everyone involved in this project, we’re definitely celebrating this one all year.
“Also, I want to thank @gertjohancoetzee for this incredible dress! It really made waves here in LA. Last but not least, I want to thank each and everyone who has supported me and my career since day one, I love each of you and dedicate this win to you
I'm sorry but this song didn't deserve a Grammy 💀
