Robyn Nakaambo nominated at Basadi in Music Awards
Paving the way
The television presenter's nomination brings Namibian talent to the forefront of the African entertainment industry.
Celebrated Namibian television presenter Robyn Nakaambo has earned a prestigious nomination at the 2024 Basadi in Music Awards in South Africa. She is nominated in the entertainment TV presenter of the year category for her work on NBC's ‘What a Lifestyle’.
Reflecting on her nomination, she expressed profound gratitude and pride. “This nomination signifies a beacon of hope. It validates my relentless pursuit of excellence and my refusal to accept limitations," she said.
She emphasised the importance of perseverance and self-improvement, especially in an industry where recognition often comes slowly. "For me, it’s a testament to the Namibian girl and boy that hard work and self-investment can turn dreams into reality."
Nakaambo's career in the entertainment industry has spanned several years, and she views this nomination as recognition of her enduring commitment and passion. "I've been in the industry for years, and to finally receive such an accolade is incredibly rewarding. It proves that perseverance and hard work do pay off, even if it takes time," she noted.
The impact of this nomination extends beyond Nakaambo herself. She believes it brings significant visibility to Namibian talent on a larger stage. "This recognition places Namibia in the spotlight at such prestigious award ceremonies. Often, Namibian talent goes unnoticed internationally and within Africa, but this platform changes that."
She hopes her nomination will encourage greater interest in Namibian talent, particularly from South Africa and the broader continent. "In our industry, it’s often musicians who break barriers. For a television personality to do so is ground-breaking. I feel privileged to open doors and create opportunities for other Namibian talents," she said.
The Basadi in Music Awards was founded in 2022. It celebrates female talent and achievements in the entertainment industry. This year’s edition is set to be held at the Joburg Theatre in Johannesburg on Saturday, 10 August.
