On top of that, there were local artists performing such as Mmaausi, Ubuntu Band, Banjo Mosele, Kabelo Tiro, otherwise known as Skavenja, Khoisan and Han C and two other artists from South Africa like Donald, the hit maker of “Mmele, pelo le moya” song featuring Han C and Afrotraction. Organised by Colourful People Entertainment, the event brought together music and fashion enthusiasts, providing attendees with a memorable evening filled with electrifying performances, cultural celebration, and a shared love for both fashion and music. Simmy, known for her soulful voice and captivating stage presence, performed hit tracks like “Ubala” and “Ngiyesaba,” she had the audience entranced with her emotional delivery. Her unique sound, blending Afro House and neo-soul, resonated deeply with the crowd. “Her voice is something else,” said Thapelo, an audience member who watched Simmy’s performance from the front row.
“It feels like she is singing directly to you, and that connection is rare in live shows,” she said. Simmy’s performance was followed by Blaq Diamond, the award-winning Afro Pop duo known for their catchy songs and energetic stage performances. From the moment they stepped onto the stage, they brought an infectious energy that quickly spread through the crowd. Starting with their hit song, “Ibhanoyi,” the duo had fans singing along enthusiastically, and the energy only grew as they performed “Love Letter” and other popular tracks. “These guys know how to get a crowd moving,” said Mpho, a local fan who joined the event specifically to experience Blaq Diamond live. The chemistry between the duo, Ndumiso Mdletshe and Sphelele Dunywa, was evident throughout their performance. Their ability to connect with the audience was a highlight for many.
“They have such great synergy and know how to work the crowd,” commented Keitumetse, a student attending the event with friends. “It’s clear they love what they do, and that makes their music even more enjoyable for us as fans,” said Mpho. Aside from the music, Letetsi on Fleek offered more than just a concert. It was an experience where attendees connected through shared interests in fashion and heritage. Local fashionistas took to the event dressed in leteisi-inspired outfits, adding a visual spectacle to the musical experience. “The combination of music and culture is perfect,” said Dineo, an attendee dressed in a modernised leteisi dress. “They gave us more than a concert; they gave us an experience that feels rooted in our identity.” The event highlighted Colourful People Entertainment’s mission to promote both music and culture.
“We wanted to create something that celebrates who we are as Africans,” said one of the event organisers. “Having artists such as Simmy and Blaq Diamond helps bring that vision to life because their music resonates across borders,” said Dineo. As the performances wrapped up, it was clear the event had left a lasting impression. Fans lingered, discussing their favourite moments and looking forward to future shows. “This was an unforgettable night,” said Tshepang, a fan from nearby Tlokweng. “It’s rare to see such a well-organised event that brings together music and culture in a way that feels genuine and exciting,” said Dineo. Simmy and Blaq Diamond’s performances were the highlight of an evening that successfully combined music, fashion, and cultural pride. The event not only showcased top musical talent but also emphasised the importance of embracing heritage in new, dynamic ways.
