The Wife stars Abdul Khoza and Kwenzo Ngcobo also had a fantastic night as the two leading men walked away as winners of the favourite actor and favourite rising star awards respectively.

Skhumba has been Kaya 959 breakfast co-host, but is reportedly leaving.

When he joined the station he said the career move validated his growth as a person and as a broadcaster.

“If there's one thing I've learnt in life it is that I cannot change the way people see and feel about me. I can make you laugh or make you cry, but essentially how you feel about me and what you've made your mind up about me is something I can't change. That's why I'm not offended when people don't get my sense of humour. If you think I'm not funny  that is not my problem, that's your problem,” he said laughing.
