The annual cultural festival, which aims to revitalise the city's energy and encourage cultural diversity, was held on Saturday at the Obed Itani Stadium.

Mokhali kept the attendants on their feet with his songs Batlogeleng, Go sa itse and many others. Around 02:55, Culture Spears took the stage, lighting it up with hits like Sibi, Selonyana, and Khudu.
