Bok Radio CEO Wimpie van der Sandt was presented with the 2024 CMA International Country Broadcaster Award on Saturday (Oct. 26) during the first-ever Cape Town Country Festival (CTC) by headliner Kip Moore.

This award recognizes outstanding achievement by a radio broadcaster or syndicated radio reporter outside of the United States who has significantly contributed to the development of country music in their country.

Van der Sandt has helped to bring country music to South Africa through his Bok Radio station, striving to introduce new artists to its people and make waves in the live music space. He also had a hand in producing CTC, South Africa’s largest country music festival, which took place at DHL Stadium. In addition to Moore, the event featured performances by Brothers Osborne, Darius Rucker, Craig Morgan, Morgan Wade and Zac Brown Band, among others.

The Country Music Association plans to present the remaining 2024 CMA International Awards over the next several months.
