When Pandit Shane Maharaj was 6 he performed his first havan and by the age of 11 he conducted his first wedding.
On Saturday, he will reach another milestone when he receives a lifetime achievement award at the Artes Awards at the Sibaya Izulu Theatre.
The awards were established in 1969 by the late Mothie Doorghepersadh, a show promoter, and continued through the efforts of his wife, Pinky Mothie, and her production company, Big M Productions.
