Nadia Mukami is all smiles after she won at the just concluded AFRIMMA Awards that happened in Dallas USA on Sunday, September 17. The singer took home the Best Female East Africa award.

The singer was going up against Tanzania’s Zuchu and Nandy among others. The “Nijipe” hit maker shone bright to defeat serious competition in her category. The male category was taken by Diamond Platnumz who has continued to dominate the industry for a while now.

Sautisol failed to clinch the best group award as they lost to Toofan from Togo. The boy band has had it’s fair share of struggle ever since they announced their imminent break up.
