The event was hosted by U.S. stand-up comic and actor, Marlon Wayans, who muddled up some names but described himself as an African-American and attributed the fault to the Whiteman in his tongue.

Wayans said he was excited to be in Africa for the first time and described the continent as the most beautiful place he had been to.

He blew the Vuvuzela and urged Africa to support the five African countries going to the world cup in Brazil.

Speaking after the show, Alex Okosi, the Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN), described the show as spectacular.

He said “MAMA 2014 was truly spectacular and a true testament to the passion, commitment and creativity of contemporary music, youth culture and achievement on the African continent.”

Desmond Golding, the Head of Department of Economic Development and Tourism, KwaZulu-Natal Province, said the event brought the area to limelight.

“The MTV Africa Music Awards KwaZulu-Natal has fulfilled all its great promises in terms of spectacle, star power and bringing the eyes of the world onto our great province. We congratulate the winners, nominees and performers on a truly spectacular evening of entertainment. Through cultural events of this magnitude, we underline the stature of KwaZulu-Natal as a leading destination for tourism, economic development and cultural experiences.’’

MAMA 2014 was the fourth edition after it was held twice in Nigeria (Lagos 2008, Abuja 2010) and Kenya (2009) before it went into a four-year hiatus.
It was instituted by the music and lifestyle channel, MTV Base, to recognise creative African talents who excelled over the past years in the showbiz industry and society. (NAN)
