PHOTOS: Full list of 2015 MTV Africa Music Award (MAMA) winners

 

The Awards ceremony was held at the  Durban International Convention Centre and was hosted by US comedian Anthony Anderson.

 

The full list of winners from the 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards is here and it’s quite the list.

From Davido winning Best Male to D’banj dedicating his Evolution Award to Don Jazzy, it was an emotional moment in the show.

A number of things are worthy of note while the show went by, from Dbanj & South African Bonang Kiss, to Davido while in his acceptance speech mentioned he is taking a new Toy (he actually called his Award a Toy?) to his new baby girl, to Ary who greeted a "goodnight" as she mounts stage to present Lengendary award (who does that?) we could pardon her cos she speaks Portugese better than English.

Hmmmm! And the high point of the ceremony.....
