“The 2023 edition, with the support of Standard Bank Eswatini, will be a uniquely Southern African affair with event partners and participants from Mozambique, South Africa, Lesotho, and Botswana. Young Standard Bank Artist Award winners from across the region will be featured as, once again, the festival promotes food, fashion, and music,” he said.
In addition, he said these music, art and performance exchanges reflect Standard Bank’s commitment to supporting arts mobility and promoting creative/cultural tourism.
These festival partners will feature at some of the various Luju stages and activations, ensuring a dynamic and diverse experience for festivalgoers.

These uniquely curated programmes will again be accompanied by a high-quality range of African and global sounds from top artists from the Southern African region and beyond.
“This year LUJU explores food as both an art medium and an edible eccentricity. The festival will merge high-end gastronomy and African design, facilitating collaboration between visual artists and chefs to collectively design, create and serve a tasty visual feast. With themed tasting and pairing zones, interactive activities, as well as a strong focus on sharing artisanal and craft expertise across food and beverages, the Luju Culinary Arts programme will provide immersive, inspiring and, above all, delicious experiences,” said Dawson.
