KHAWA: The Khawa cultural festival has once again proven that 'local is lekker', delivering a night that showcased immense talent from local artists and local music to close off this year’s Khawa Dune Challenge.

Hosted annually in the remote village of Khawa in the Kgalagadi District, the festival drew hundreds of adventure enthusiasts and fun lovers who came to witness thrilling quad bike, off road, and 4x4 races and a festival in the dunes.

This years’ festival carried a special meaning as organisers opted for an all local artists line-up and new budding artists in the industry. Some of the artists who were given the opportunity to perform are Ey Brizzy, Double Up, Juu Matere and Chokoma among others.
