Afro-pop singer Vusi Nova is excited and feels honoured, though he wasn't present to receive the award.

The Ndikhethiwe hitmaker was among the winners who walked away with an award at the Xhosa Music Awards ceremony at Artscape in Cape Town.

Vusi won the Best Male Artist of Democracy award. Speaking to TshisaLIVE, he expressed his happiness.

“It feels amazing and I’m honoured. Couldn’t be there because I had gigs in the Eastern Cape, but in spirit I was there. Thank you to the Xhosa Music Awards and everyone who voted and have been supporting me since day one. Ndiyabulela.”

Another winner on the night was Gauteng ANC secretary and former TS Records boss Thembinkosi Nciza, fondly known as TK. He received a Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to the music industry and promoting the Xhosa tribe.

“I'm happy for those who facilitated the awards ceremony and the responsible parties in organising such an event. We are on track to tell our own story through such a ceremony. If we don't promote our own, who'll do it for us?”

Other winners include Thandiswa Mazwai who scooped Best Female Artist of Democracy, while gospel singer Kholeka walked away with Best Traditional Gospel Artist of Democracy and Most Consistent Gospel Artist of Democracy.
