The latter Kebadile Wasenda, also known as Kaybee’s festival is centered on artists from the Okavango area and has been running for the past three years in Shakawe while OKMF is an inaugural annual three-day camping event, celebrating African music in a wild and ancient forest. Both music festivals are charitable events aimed at improving the livelihoods of people in the Ngami and Okavango area.
Kaybee told Arts & Culture in an interview that her partners and fans have been calling her nonstop to understand the situation. “I have been doing Okavango Music Festival since 2015 so it still stands. I don’t have a problem with OKMF people because the objectives are the same and we are all geared towards charity. They are in Ngami, mine is deep in the Okavango,” she said. Kaybee added that her festival is about transforming lives and unleashing hidden talent in the delta. She said they also involve other countries such as Namibia. KB said she was not worried because she has registered the logo under a company called Okava Events. “My festival was established on good foundations, I believe it will go far and this year it’s the 4th annual,” she highlighted.
