Khuli Chana earns international acclaim
North West Premier Thandi Modise has congratulated award winning rapper Khuli Chana for making the Top 6 shortlist for the Black International Act of the Black Canadian Awards.
In thanking the residents of the North West province, South Africans and music lovers in general for heeding her call to vote for the winning artist, Premier Modise said that Khuli Chana’s nomination represents a big break for him into the international rap music arena.
“We are proud of him as our brand Ambassador who represents excellence in artistic expression. In him we have a gem that is still to sparkle on the world stage. He is our pride and an inspiration to many of our young people who are looking up to him as a trendsetter and a role model,” said Modise.
Khuli Chana, who was born in Mmabatho Unit 2 in Mahikeng, is a Mmabana talent show product. He has toured with big names such as Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar and has had the successful Sleepwalker collaboration with the Parlotones.
The Black Canadian Awards is a non-profit initiative of the Diversity Advancement Network. Part of the proceeds will be added to their Youth and Talent scholarship program. The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on 1 March 2014 at the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Toronto, Canada.
