The comedian took home the prestigious award at the 2018 Savanna Comics’ Choice Awards that took place at The Lyric Theatre, Gold Reef City in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Basketmouth was nominated alongside other talented comedians like Carl Joshua Ncube (Zimbabwe), Kansiime Anne Entertainer (Uganda), Salvado (Uganda) and Charles Manase (Botswana), all of whom were flown to South Africa and hosted by Savanna and the awards teams.
This makes it the second consecutive time the comedian will bag the award after he became the first-ever recipient of the Savanna Pan-African Comic of the Year Award in 2017.
