The Feathers are described as South Africa’s cheekiest and most audacious awards ceremony, a celebration of public icons, in the following fields, entertainment, sports and business, that of course the gay community finds inspiring, amusing, or just plain scandalous.
The excitement can’t seem to fade as the state broadcaster is going to screen this magnificent event to its multiple million viewers, that of course will get the chance for the very first time to watch the screening of the event on their Telly screens.
The Feathers are renowned its take no prisoners, tell it like is kind of an approach, the awards consistently deliver an evening of hilarity, heartfelt tributes, and un-politically correct, yet well placed truth telling.
“It feels amazing to have actually reached 4 years of the Feathers! The ceremony has been so well-embraced, and supported across the board," says awards founder and co-producer Thami Kotlolo “The Feathers are now a firm part of the Mzansi entertainment scene – and more importantly, have created a platform for sexual minorities to express themselves about the lighter side of life. We deal with so many heavy and serious issues as gays and lesbians in South Africa – this is just one night where we kick back be fabulous, and give a ‘Cheers, darling!’ to people who inspire us!”
