Kwaito Legends to take centre stage on 1 October at A Night With Legends

The excitement is building up and the box office selling fast as South African music legends gear up for the most anticipated, once-in-a-lifetime 

A Night With Legends showdown at Gallagher Convention Centre on 1 October 2022.

This historic evening is set to honour the pioneers of Kwaito music, both living and late, who have contributed to the socio-economic development of their communities. 

These icons will be celebrated for their unmatched contribution in an award ceremony on the night and music lovers will enjoy a medley of their favourite tunes as they go down memory lane.

Hosted by the much-loved Thabo “Tbo Touch” Molefe; stars Kabelo Mabalane, Ishmael Morabe, Oskido, Arthur Mafokate, Mdu Masilela, and Thebe will reunite for an old-school extravaganza. Guests will be treated to a host of surprise acts from the past.

The brains behind A Night With Legends, Arthur Mafokate says this event was inspired by the immense contribution made by these artists to the popular culture of South African music.

“We are excited to be able to contribute towards social cohesion, job creation while we bring people together for a fun and celebratory moment. This event is one of the many to come, and we deliberately kickstarted it with Kwaito Legends on the stage, but it is by no means meant to be a Kwaito Music event. It is bigger than this, as it is about South Africa and its people. We are setting the bar as high as possible, because we know what Kwaito has done for the entertainment sector, years to come we will aim to maintain the standard and contribute more towards the growth of the country’s economy through entertainment while we also give back to our communities. This will come through as we announce our honouraries who range from Sports Legends to Community Leaders,” Mafokate says.

Mafokate goes on to say guests can expect a concert of international standards.
“We have sought to do something different for South Africa, when we developed the concept ‘A Night with Legends’ we had one thing in mind – and that was celebrating and honouring our Legends. We did not want to stage a concert, for pure entertainment only, but we want to create an experience of a lifetime. This will come across through the world-class production of this event. From stage, choreography, through to technical and presentation of the event, patrons are in for a treat. All music lovers, entrepreneurs, philanthropists and the general public attending this event will be exposed to greatness in terms of networking opportunities, entertainment, Kasi Cuisines with a twist and above everything else – a great chill-out time.”
