In an interview with the head of AHUPA in charge of Salax award event, Ahmed Pacifique said that it is true that award winners haven’t been given their prizes but they think about it. He promises that prizes in terms of money will be given to the winners this June 2019.

‘’ Registering for   the Salax award,  some artists started scooping out, which resulted into the sponsor thinking that the event was not going to get through, this forced me to use my own financial means to make sure this event happens. The problem was that in the middle of this incident, our sponsor  wasn’t available then,  but for the moment, they are and willing to give the money, once we receive it we will distribute it to the winners’’ he said
