TELEVISION and radio personality DJ Sbu is among three celebrities who were honoured with the African Pride Award on Friday night.

The Metro FM deejay, real name Sibusiso Leope, with Thandiswa Mazwai and Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, received the accolades during the Vukani Annual Fashion Awards in Braamfontein, Johannesburg.

Both Leope and Mazwai were present at the event, while Madikizela-Mandela was represented by Gwen Mahlangu.

According to Sonwabile Ndamase, the founder of the Vukani Annual Fashion Awards, the African Pride Award is given to someone who epitomises African excellence, whether it is a way the person dresses, or in a particular field.

The recipients of the award should have a local and international influence on the public, and be role models to the youth.
