“Tonight’s ceremony was a gathering of the trailblazers who have redefined what it means to be a creator in Africa. From Sokoto to Nairobi, and Accra to Pretoria, we honoured the creators who turned 60-second clips into cultural movements,” TikTok head of content operations for Sub-Saharan Africa Boniswa Sidwaba said. “We are honoured to celebrate them as they amplify their voices and take their stories from Africa to the world.”
