From the moment attendees stepped in, they were immersed in a setting that encouraged self-expression, bonding, and celebration. Live performances were major highlights of the day, featuring a lineup of artists who delivered diverse musical experiences. Botswana’s own Mpho Sebina and Samantha Mogwe captivated the audience with their soulful performances, while South African artists Daliwonga, Brandon Dlhudlhu and Mashudu brought their unique sounds to the stage. The DJ lineup included Thuli Tools, Taitha, Ms Daisy, and Tefo Foxx, ensuring a lively mix of music throughout the event. Hosting the brunch was Marang Selolwane, who kept the energy high and engaged with guests.

Beyond the music, the brunch offered a variety of interactive experiences designed to add to the celebratory atmosphere. Photobooths were set up around the venue, allowing guests to capture special moments in the pink-themed setting. A sip-and-paint session encouraged creativity while offering a fun, relaxed activity to enjoy with friends. Massage stations provided an added touch of luxury, giving attendees the chance to unwind and indulge in self-care. Botswana’s entertainment and social media personalities were also present, reinforcing the event’s growing influence in the local social scene. Former Miss Botswana, Palesa Molefe, along with Leah Barometse, Dabilo Moses, Sethunya Delilah, and Lebogang Kgosikhumo, were amongst those spotted at the event. TikTok influencers such as Carol Poloko, Sherifa, and Miscado also attended, capturing content and engaging with fellow guests. Their presence reflected the brunch’s appeal as a space for women to come together, network, and celebrate themselves.

The culinary experience played a key role in the brunch, with a carefully selected menu designed to pair with Brutal Fruit Spritzer. Guests enjoyed a range of dishes while sipping their drinks in an environment that encouraged relaxation and conversation. The event’s layout allowed for both seated dining and free movement, giving attendees the flexibility to explore the different activities while engaging with one another.
