Social Media Explodes As Tony Dayimane Turns SAMA31 Stage Into A Show-Stopping Masterclass. Last night, the 31st Annual South African Music Awards (SAMA31) lit up Gallagher Estate, but amid the glittering awards and electrifying performances, one name stole the show: Tony Dayimane.
The Durban-born hip-hop prodigy, nominated for Best Hip Hop Album with his debut Red October: Induction, delivered a performance that left audiences awestruck and set social media on fire.
