MBABANE– Good news for local artists and enthusiasts alike!
The highly anticipated ‘My Roots Festival’ is set to launch on Saturday (May 25, 2024) at Platinum 24 Manzini.
The director of Bekezela Casting Agency, Kenneth Sibusiso Oporozo, confirmed the exciting news. The event is scheduled to start with a red carpet from 2pm to 3pm, followed by a demonstration of what will be happening at the main event in November 2024.
The My Roots Festival is a vibrant event organised by Bekezela Casting Agency that aims to foster a unique platform for local artists to showcase their talents and earn income through art exhibitions. The festival also strives to create a grand celebration of African unity, bringing together designers from the southern part of Africa.
The festival is set to make a lasting impact on local and continental art scenes by uniting and promoting cultural exchange.
Attendees can expect a cutting-edge and dynamic experience as Miss Culture International 2nd Runner Noncedo Mamba, Mr. Eswatini, Miss Cultural Heritage Eswatini, BV Modelling from Mozambique, and others to be confirmed during the week will glance at the event. Local artists are not left out, as they will also showcase their talents. This includes Lyrica Besh, Visto, Black Child, Miselwa Fakudze, Sihle Mamba, and others.
Oporozo said, “We invited Noncedo Mamba because she is an inspiration to a lot of models. She managed to go to South Africa and represent Eswatini, and that makes us proud.”
The event is supported by Top Models Eswatini, Eswatini Creativity Model, BV Modelling, and other international agencies that will attend the main event. Top model Eswatini has sponsored models from Mozambique with food and accommodation for the weekend they will spend in the country.
