The 2024 Legends and Legacy Ball Africa Awards event is set to take place on 13 July, 2024, at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg. This year’s event, a tribute to celebrating musical artistry and democracy in South Africa, promises to be an extraordinary celebration of Africa’s rich cultural heritage.
Highlighting Africa’s vibrant culture, legendary artists Koffi Olomide and Héritier Watanabe have been added to the line-up. Their performances will add a unique dimension to the event, highlighting the diversity and richness of African music.
Esteemed Princess of Africa Yvonne Chaka Chaka is this year’s main honouree. The evening will feature a star-studded line-up, including Mafikizolo, DJ Zinhle, King Promise, Camidoh, and Princess MacDonald.
The artists will deliver performances, paying tribute to Africa’s rich musical legacy with renditions of Yvonne Chaka Chaka’s iconic music.

Its debut event honoured Ghana’s music legend, Daddy Lumba. Since then, it has honoured three more Ghanaian music legends: Amakye Dede (2012), A.B. Crentsil (2013), and Kojo Antwi (2015).
