South African Artists Bag Grammy Award

Zakes Bantwini, Nomcebo Zikode, and Wouter Kellerman have won the award for Best Global Music Performance in the Global Music category for their hit song Bayethe at the 65th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California, reports SABC. In his acceptance speech, Bantwini said: "I just want to say, we are coming from Africa, South Africa. And this moment right here to anybody who's in Africa just proves and affirms that every dream is valid." This is the first time Zikode and Bantwini win a Grammy. This is Kellerman's fourth nomination and his second Grammy. Their win follows hot on the heels of  last year's Grammy win by DJ Black Coffee in the Best Dance Electronic Category, reports SABC. South African comedian Trevor Noah hosted the prestigious awards. Friends and fans have flooded social media with congratulatory messages for the trio.
