Blue Nation Festival
Blue Nation promises an unforgettable evening filled with electrifying performances, showcasing the journey, achievements, and timeless hits that have made Khuzani and Blue Nation icons of South African maskandi - a traditional South African music genre that combines Zulu music with Western instruments, known for its fast tempo and energetic rhythms.
Khuzani, often hailed as the King of Maskandi, will lead the celebrations, bringing his unparalleled energy, magnetic stage presence, and deep love for Zulu culture to the stage. As one of South Africa’s most celebrated maskandi musicians, Khuzani’s unique blend of traditional Zulu rhythms and modern influences has earned him a loyal fanbase both in South Africa and internationally.
Throughout the evening, the audience will be treated to an unforgettable showcase of Khuzani’s timeless hits, including songs that have defined his career and made him one of the most influential figures in maskandi music today.

Grieve
South African performers and poets Grace Storm and Thandiwe Nqanda will bring their evocative production Grieve, That Is How You Survive to the stage at Emakhaya Theatre at Wits Museum in Johannesburg.
The performance will be a visceral exploration, painting grief not just as an emotion, but as a living presence that can be felt, seen, and experienced in ways both personal and universal.
At its heart, "Grieve, That is How You Survive" is a meditation on how we carry and live with grief. It emphasises that grief is an integral part of love and life, and by allowing ourselves to fully experience it, we can ultimately find hope and healing.
Where: Emakhaya Theatre at Wits Museum
