The ninth Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) hosts have been announced.
South African beauty and Miss Universe 2019 Zozibini Tunzi has been named one of the ceremony’s co-hosts.
She will be joined by Nigerian media star IK Osakioduwa, who will present the prestigious awards for the ninth time.
IK returned to the AMVCA stage and expressed his excitement for the event and this year’s nominees.
Tunzi is a model, actress, social media star, and beauty queen who made her film debut in The Woman King last year. She is also a radio and television broadcaster and has presented several events, including Miss South Africa.
Sharing her thoughts on co-hosting the AMVCA, she said, “It’s an incredible honour to be hosting Africa’s biggest night in entertainment and film with such a talented co-host. This is my first trip to Nigeria, and it could not have gone any better other than being privileged to host the biggest film award in the continent while celebrating our African stars.”
On choosing this year’s hosts, Busola Tejumola, Executive Head of Content and West Africa Channels, MultiChoice Nigeria, said: “We are excited to have IK and Zozibini as the hosts of the 9th edition of the AMVCA. They are both professionals in their craft, and we trust they will bring in the super energy and professionalism and keep the continent entertained as we celebrate our African stars.”
While these two take center stage, media celebrities Toke Makinwa, Uti Nwachukwu, Sika Osei, and VJ Adama will present on the red carpet, interacting with attendees and providing viewers with a sneak glimpse into the night’s glamour and splendor.
The AMVCA will occur over three days, from Thursday, May 18, to Saturday, May 20, 2023.
The festivities will begin on Thursday, May 18, with the Opening/Cultural Night, followed by MTF Day and Digital Content Creators Day on Friday, May 19, and the Nominee Gala/Runway Show later that day before the awards night on Saturday, May 20.
From 16:00 WAT (17:00 CAT) on Saturday, May 20, 2023, watch the ninth edition of the AMVCA live on all Africa Magic channels on DStv and GOtv.
