The South African Music Awards are going vinyl this year with blast back to old times. 

They've been a virtual affair for the past two years but this year they're back in the real world for their 28th rendition, and they're happening on one night, unlike that five night Mzansi Magic fiasco from two years ago.

The ceremony venue hasn't been confirmed yet but the date has: 31 July, with a live broadcast on SABC1.

As you'll see, Zakes Bantwini can tap his shoes together because he leads with a total of seven nods, followed by DJ Maphorisa who has six and Msaki with five.
