The Ngoma Awards 2025<\/strong> were successfully launched yesterday, December 11, 2025<\/strong>, marking a celebratory moment for Zambia\u2019s creative industry. The ceremony brought together artists, producers, comedians, and content creators, recognizing excellence across music and entertainment.<\/p>\n

Several notable creatives walked away with awards on the night, including Triple M, Yo Maps, Xaven, Melar Beats, Winky D, Faith Bwalya, Maza Comedy<\/strong>, and Mwamba Chikwemba<\/strong>, among others. Their wins reflected a year of strong performances, consistency, and impact across various platforms.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As with any competitive awards ceremony, not every nominee took home a trophy. High-profile creatives such as Chile One, Chester, JC Kalinks, Mampi, Towela Kaira, Jae Cash, Driemo, Daniel Mbewe<\/strong>, and Scholastica Mwale<\/strong> were among those who left without an award this year, despite strong nominations and public support.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Ngoma Awards highlighted both celebration and healthy competition, reinforcing the platform\u2019s role in recognizing talent while encouraging continued growth within the creative space. Fans and industry stakeholders are encouraged to review the full list of nominees<\/strong> and the official list of winners<\/strong> to see how the categories unfolded.<\/p>\n
