AHEAD of the maiden edition of the much-hyped AfricaMagic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCAs) billed for March 9, organisers of the movie award have unveiled Big Brother Africa presenter, IK Osakioduwa and gorgeous StarGist lady, Vimbai Mutinhiri as hosts. Source has it that both were selected due to their experience and passion for the African entertainment scene, thereby presenting them as unique ambassadors for the project.
Organised in association with MultiChoice and sponsored by Amstel Malta, the event, which will be staged at the Expo Hall, Eko Hotel & Sites, Victoria Island, Lagos, will be screened to television viewers in 47 African countries.
“IK’s cool, calm professionalism combined with his effortless charm is clearly a benefit during busy live broadcasts while the always optimistic and stylish Vimbai’s enthusiasm for lifestyle programming makes her the ideal co-host for what we are confident will be a glittering, glamourous night for African stars, industry insiders and audiences watching at home,” Biola Alabi, MD M-Net Africa said.
Already excited with her role at the AMVCAs, Vimbai described the opportunity is an honour to be part of the initiative in the African film and television industry.
“I feel there is no better way to pay homage to the outstanding stars we have on this continent than to be a part of the grand occasion to honour each one of them. I am sincerely humbled.”
Zimbabwean Vimbai, who first shot to fame as a housemate on Big Brother Amplified and is now a co-host of hot celeb and showbiz program StarGist, added: “I am expecting to see and hear Africa’s finest putting their best foot forward on March 9. The AMVCAs promises to be a night of glamour and excitement, so I can’t wait to see the finest couture on the continent. I’m also looking forward to some hot entertainment.”
