One of South Africa's most loved kwaito legends will be honoured at the seventh annual Mzansi Kwaito and House Music Awards set to take place on 26 November. According to Daily Sun, Bonginkosi Dlamini, popularly known as Zola 7, will receive a special award at the ceremony for his contribution to the industry.
