That was the first time Mafikizolo and Tiwa would perform in the United States, while the announcement follows their victories at the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) earlier in the month in the ‘Best Group’ and ‘Best Female’ categories.

 

In addition, Ice Prince, who won the 2013 BET Award for ‘Best International Act: Africa’, is billed to perform today where he will present the award for the same category to this year’s winner at the BET Awards.
