The Return of the King: Djy Tshepza Secures Double Nomination at MAMA 2026

The Amapiano powerhouse Djy Tshepza is once again at the forefront of the South African music scene. Following a monumental 2025, the "Potch Hava" hitmaker has officially been announced as a nominee for the 7th Annual Mzansi Arts and Media Awards (MAMA) in the Provincial Best Amapiano Artist category.

A Legacy in the Making

Known for his relentless work ethic and "sleepless nights" in the studio, Djy Tshepza is no stranger to the MAMA stage. Last year, he walked away with the trophy for Best Amapiano Single, and this year’s nomination proves his consistency in a genre that moves at lightning speed.

Speaking recently on Aganang FM, Tshepza expressed his gratitude to his fans, noting that being recognized alongside other heavyweights like Djy Fallo is a testament to the thriving music culture in the North West province.
