What are the Feather Awards?
The Feather Awards were launched to celebrate the life of high profile personalities. These people despite their lifestyles are also inspirational, humorous and memorable. It wouldn’t be South Africa if these very same individuals who are a bit scandalous.
Throughout the years, the Feather have however broadened their scope. They now also look at struggles of sexual minorities across African countries.
The 10th anniversary was held at the Joburg City Hall in Gauteng last night. The night was made memorable by a commentary from Somizi Mhlongo. Not forgetting performances by Nhlanhla Nciza, the Mzansi Gay Choir, and Zoe Modiga.
There was also a lovely surprise by reality TV Star Evodia “Madame” Mogase and her daughter Mercy. It was surely a memorable night, you should have been there.
