According to the festival’s website, “Also proposed to perform are Alexio Kawara, Botswana Afropop diva Slizer, hip-hop poet Cde Fatso and Chabvunduka, Music Crossroads winners Club Shanga, Afro-Punk group Chikwata 263, Mbira Dze Matupo plus lots of local acts and entertainment.”

Local acts will also take part and there will be various arts showcases such as theatre, poetry, arts and wares exhibitions.
