Metro FM’s Wilson B, Sentle & Msizi Shembe.
Drummer Trio 016 Banger Boyz will add local flavour. Pulz and Classic Tank and Abiter DJ will also be on the decks. “Our district is pioneering to be the “hydrotropolis” – focusing on developing economies around tourism, water and “agrotropolis”, focusing also on, and developing economies, around agriculture and agro-processing in Gauteng province” says Jackie Chili, Sedibeng Summer Festival Director. Last year, Tshepo Tshola staged a marvelous performance leaving the crowd in total amazement and this year, he is back by popular demand to seal the seventh celebration.
Chili said community members can look forward to this unique musical experience coupled with kiddies’ entertainment and exquisite food along the banks of Vaal River.
“An event of this magnitude is the right puzzle piece to stimulate our tourism sector, create jobs, empower local artists, SMMEs and place Sedibeng region as a place to live, work and play. What a better way to enjoy your festive with the whole family in a kid’s friendly event where all kids
