The event will be held at the DUMA FM Grounds on December 3, 2022. The popular singer had received a lot of backlash from local fans as well in her native country recently after failing to appear at shows she was booked to perform.
She had over the Independence Day weekend missed not less than three events she was booked at. Her 11th hour announcement of ‘no-show’ irked the local party-goers.
This resulted in calls on social media platforms for the ‘African Queen’ to be sidelined from local events. “Let’s note Makhadzi is one of the most talented and influential artists.
Her catalogue will always set her apart as she has many hits that both kids and adults love. She has such a soft spot for kids and she wants to come share her newly released album with her fans in Botswana,” DC Tours’ director, Lepsy Molemele told Arts & Culture.
Makhadzi will be performing alongside South African DJ and producer, Heavy K, local superstar, Vee Mampeezy, DJ Bunny, Sirnay8 and K.Nice. While socialite, Hey Nyeenaah and MC CBD will be MC’s on the day.
Molemele said the event is a curtain raiser to the festive season events as he said it provides relaxed scenery towards the end of the year. “Our event is that it comprises of contemporary day festival and family picnic. An event is meant for Mohiri and Employee (employer and employee) to go out have fun together and get to know each other’s families.
What sets our event apart is that we have also catered for adults who will be accompanying their children to this family Xmas day. Instead of the usual family Fun Day with almost 100% of entertainment set for adults.
Ours has musicians like Makhadzi and Vee who are usually nightlife performers. In short, as your children go through jumping castles, you will be able to enjoy the artists on the other side,” he said.
Molemele has kept the fans on their feet as he says there could be additions to the line-up of performing artists. “Never say never. Our line-up is complete for now but we also follow social trends so we can pull a surprise act on the last hour influenced by social trends then.
Look forward to usual kids park fun activities but most importantly, we have set ourselves apart because on the day we will have Santa giving out special Christmas packs to our little ones. That’s the most highlight of the event to look forward to. Additionally, our team is on the planning table at moment and the aim is to set the same festival in other towns around Botswana.
Maybe we will be in Francistown immediately after this one,” Molemele said. Other activities on the day include water slides, face painting, fun games, dance competition, jumping castles, paintball shooting, egg race, water games and karaoke. Tickets for the event are selling at P100 and P250 for a Family Pack of four and must include a child below the age of 14.
