A good number of jazz lovers braved the cold weather over the weekend to come and enjoy music of jazz at Pacers Venue in Thamaga.

Though the event started later than the scheduled time, artists lined up for the day did not disappoint the crowd. Local disc jockeys on the other hand played a wide range of both local and international tunes. Pacers executive director, Mpho Leonard, said although the festival was the first of its kind, he was happy with the attendance despite being lower than they had anticipated. As many already know that jazz and fashion are like twin sisters, the attendees exceeded expectations, arriving in attire well-suited for the occasion.

The director of ceremonies for the day, MC Star Hazel arrived ready for the festival. He changed his attire several times to match the different artists coming onto the stage.
