Zakes Bantwini’s Sikelela Festival

“Our freedom came with a lot of tears, blood and sacrifices. So many people died for this freedom that we are enjoying today. I think a lot of people don’t understand what Freedom Day really is and why it needs to be celebrated,” shares Zakes Bantwini

Proudly presenting the inaugural Sikelela Festival which aims to celebrate South Africa’s rich heritage through dance and music, Zakes Bantwini adds: “That’s why I’m doing this festival. To hone in on what Freedom Day really is. We were divided as a nation (Black men this side, white men this side) but through festivals like this, we have the opportunity to unite through song and dance. We need to celebrate the bravery of those that came before us and not forget.”
