The kykNET Ghoema Music Awards annually rewards the biggest role players in the Afrikaans music industry.
This year we celebrate and reward everything released in the 2018 calendar year.
In 2019 we celebrate the 8th kykNET Ghoemas and it is still one of the most sought-after awards ceremonies in the Afrikaans music industry. Over the past seven years the Ghoemas has had a huge impact on the careers of the artists who have been winners in the various categories. On 17 April 2019 we will award and celebrate this year’s winners.
This gala event will be held at the Sun Arena at Times Square in Pretoria and will be broadcast live on kykNET, DStv channel 144, for the third consecutive year.
