South African celebs wow at the 2018 BET Awards
From winning awards to slaying the red-carpet, here's how these SA stars stole the show at the BET Awards.
The 2018 BET Awards were held in Los Angeles, California, on Sunday night and some of South Africa's A-list stars were in attendance.
KwaZulu-Natal hip-hop musician Jabulani Sjava Hadebe took home top honours at the ceremony.
He won 'Viewers' Choice: Best New International Act', beating acts such as Niniola (Nigeria) and Kwesi Arthur (Ghana).
"It's our great pleasure to congratulate @Sjava_ATM for winning the @BET_Africa Viewers Choice Award in the Best New International Act category. You are a shining example of how important it is to be authentically African & how impactful South African musicians are internationally," Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa tweeted shortly after his win.
