All systems are in place for the most gratifying music festival, the annual Cultural Spring Fest in Modimong village, in Taung. The much-anticipated music festival organisers, Collen Moeketsi Mohapi and Kabelo Vincent Gaotlhaelwe said Modimong village will be a place to be on 24 September 2022.
Mohapi said the annual Cultural Spring Fest event has grown in leaps and bounds since its inception. He said this year, they have pulled all stops and their line-ups encompass A-list performers such as Metro FM presenter and club Dj, the sizzling Lerato Kganyago, and Patrick “Dj Kathapila” Seleka, who is a South African actor best known for his starring role as Katlego ‘Kat’ Petersen in the SABC1 drama series, Skeem Saam.
“Our event aims to promote a culture and heritage that will not only embrace African culture but also economize our very own indigenous talent by showcasing business through music and art.
“What is essential is that this event is hosted by the youth for the youth. So, the intention is to go beyond heritage celebration and we are looking forward to providing opportunities to the Small Medium Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) across Taung and North West,” he said.
Mohapi further said, local vendors and traders, will also have an opportunity to sell their variety of products or traditional food at the event. He added that their mission is to stimulate the local economy by creating job and business opportunities for the youth.
“Our short and long-term vision is to provide local artists in Taung and its surrounding with a platform to showcase their abundance of talent.
“Remember, local artists and DJs such as Mr Buzz, Skhokho, Dj Fire, and others are part of the sweltering line-up too. We will also have exclusive performances from our various local artists such as Bakgaratlhi Ba Ngwao Traditional Music Group, The Groove Sessions, and others,” said Mohapi.
Tickets are available for this mouth-watering event at Computicket countrywide or Shoprite/Checkers at R120 for general and R200 for VIP.
The tickets will be R160 at the gates and only R250 for VIPs.
