She added that her music promotes respect and understanding across all cultures. “I am very excited about performing at this festival. My fans will enjoy only the best music,” she promised.

The event spokesperson, Mr Divhambele Mbalavhali, assured music lovers that this year’s festival will be the best ever, with top-notch performances from all the artists.
