Experience the fusion of Jazz & Soul under the theme Restoring Hope – this is one event not to be missed, a turning point for the community and the country as we endeavour to pivot towards where the light shines brighter after the ravaging effects and impact of COVID-19 which has left many of us distraught and psycho-socially damaged.
This project also promotes local township economic and tourism development.
The experience will showcase the best of South Africa and KZN’s talent through various genres of music and other cultural or sport activities that will be taking place in and around the area.
