2022 Feather Awards in SA: All the nominees

The event, which is in its 14th edition, was founded by Thami Kotlolo and is designed to honour individuals in different fields including music, media and fashion, as well as LGBTQ initiatives.

The nominees, comprising individuals and organisations from private and business sectors, were selected by a knowledgeable panel made up of members of the media and entertainment industry.

“There is still much work to be done,” Kotlolo said. “COVID-19 slowed down the process and now it’s time to accelerate the transformation and get back on track. And it’s going to take all of us to do it. From the public sector and the private sector, government and businesses need to put their money where their mouths are.”
