Musician and awards winner Ammara Brown is set to host the inaugural National Arts Merit Awards (Nama) Legends@40 awards taking place this Saturday.

Ammara said she was surprised when she received the news because it will be her first time to host such an event.

“When I heard they wanted me to host the Namas, I was pleasantly surprised because I’ve won so many awards but I’ve never hosted the event. This one is not just Namas but Nama legends awards. I’m looking forward to the event,” said Ammara. — @mthabisi_mthire.
