About Us

The South African Gospel Recognition Awards (SAGRA), established in 2021, is a proudly faith-driven initiative committed to honoring and uplifting those who dedicate their voices and talents to spreading the Gospel through music. Founded on the principle of speaking for those whose contributions often go unrecognized, SAGRA shines a spotlight on gospel artists working tirelessly behind the microphone, inspiring hope, healing, and transformation through their art. We are more than just an awards platform; we are a movement that seeks to develop, mentor, and empower the next generation of gospel musicians across South Africa. Through strategic recognition and community engagement, we aim to build a sustainable legacy that supports both established and emerging talents in their spiritual and musical journeys.
