MBABANE-A shot to perform at the biggest music festival in Eswatini has come for all local rappers.

A rap battle competition will be held during the Francophonie Festival at the Alliance Française de Mbabane on March 15, 2023.

This competition will see one victorious rapper off to perform at the Bushfire Firefly stage.

Alliance Française communications Officer Karyn Groening revealed that Bushfire was sponsoring the event.

“MTN Bushfire is sponsoring the rap battle and the winner gets to perform at the festival’s Firefly stage.

“The competition will have ten contestants. We have three judges who are professional rappers and producers in Eswatini and will judge the performances.  There will be three rounds; first is Freestyle, second is Word (a contestant is given a word and has to make out from it) and the third round is both Freestyle and Word,” said Groening.

Groening further mentioned that the second prize in the competition is a full General Ticket for 2023 for Bushfire Festival. “To register for the competition, rappers can send an email to culture@afmbabane. Registration fee is E100,” said Groening.
