Heavy downpours soak Gaabo Motho but revellers undeterred

It is worth noting that when the festival started the day was sunny and hot so it was actually easy to forget to check out the weather forecast before heading off to one of the biggest festive shows in the South. Most people were so stoked about the music festival and their favourite artists, forgetting that it does sometimes rain at festivals. With the hot conditions of Christmas Eve afternoon, no one dared to just err on the side of caution and bring rainy weather clothes.

Some of the favourites on the line-up like DJ Fresh and DJ KSB performed great sets before there was any sign of precipitation. The award winning DJ KSB didn’t disappoint as usual, serving his fans with some of his trendy collaboration hits like Maloba and Thokoza. The man currently signed under Master KG’s Wanitwa Mos paved way for the surprise act of the night, Paige. There was something different about the artist on the night as her performance was out of the ordinary. Without former partner Sdala B on her side by the decks, Paige did just great and she was indeed worth the ‘surprise act’ status. Perhaps the most gratifying moment about her performance was when she made a tribute to the late South African great, Zahara, who died earlier this month.
