💙🙏 A HEARTFELT THANK YOU FROM THE UBUMNANDI FESTIVAL TEAM 🙏💙

What an unforgettable weekend! 🎉
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to every supporter, every attendee, every family, and every community member who came out and made this year’s Ubumnandi Festival such a massive success. The energy, the unity, the love — it was truly something special.

A big shout-out to our incredible partners and sponsors who stood with us all the way:
💙 Too Much Wifi
🍇 Creation Wines
🏗 Talisman Hire Hermanus
🖨 Whale Printers
Your support played a huge role in making this event possible, and we deeply appreciate you.

Everything came together beautifully, and we are grateful for the overwhelming positivity and support received throughout the festival.

💛 A Sincere Apology to Parents

We would also like to extend a heartfelt apology to all the parents who brought their children to see Temple Boys earlier in the day. Many of you shared your disappointment regarding the performance time being scheduled later in the evening.
While the night performance was phenomenal, we truly understand that it would have meant a lot for the kids to experience it too. We take this feedback seriously and will use it as guidance in future planning to ensure better alignment with family expectations.
Thank you for your honesty, your understanding, and for trusting us with your children’s Funland experience.

💙 UNTIL NEXT TIME…

Thank you once again to everyone who made this festival one for the books.
Your support keeps Ubumnandi alive, growing, and shining brighter every year.

See you again soon! 🌟🎉💙

🎓✨ I GRADUATED… AGAIN! ✨🎓

Yesterday I proudly walked across the stage at Stellenbosch University, marking yet another milestone just a year and a few months after my CPUT graduation. What a journey this has been — and wow, what a feeling! 🙌🏾🔥

This wasn’t easy. Not even close.
Balancing a demanding 8–5 job as a public servant, running a company, hosting monthly events for two years straight, managing multiple commitments, AND pushing through an academically intense qualification… it took everything in me. But look at God. Look at discipline. Look at growth. 🙏🏾

To have completed my first qualification within only two years of formally entering government as a permanent employee is something I will always cherish. The future of the South African governance landscape is looking bright with the likes of me stepping into the space🤣.

But on a serious note — I am not here to play.
Everything I do, I do with intention. I believe education is the tool that will equip me to make a meaningful impact in my family, my community, my town, my region, my province, my country, and eventually the world at large. 🌍

To everyone who has stood by me, guided me, and believed in me — thank you. My family, my friends, my colleagues, the leadership at work, my community, and all the incredible mentors who continue to shape me in my journey through public service and education. I see you. I appreciate you. I carry your support with me. Another win for South Africa her children.❤️

Ngalomazwi ndithi:
Mazen’ ethole. Camagu. 🖤🙏🏾

Onward and upward.
The story continues. 🚀

THE GROOVE CONTINUES — STRAIGHT INTO THE MIIGD GROOVELOP EXPERIENCE 2025! 🔥

This Friday, after the prestige and celebration of the The Most Influential Icons Gala Dinner 2025, we take things from elegance to electrifying energy. From recognition… to pure rhythm. From the Gala… to the official MIIGD After Party.

I’m proud to announce that I’ll be performing at the MIIGD GROOVELOP EXPERIENCE 2025, delivering the closing set from 01:40 – 02:40, bringing the night home with a powerful finale as we dance into 3AM. 🎧🔥

In addition to my performance, my company Blue Sky South Africa will also be supplying:
🔊 Professional PA Sound System
✨ Lighting & DJ Decks
📸 360 Photobooth Experience
— ensuring the night looks and sounds as iconic as the people attending it.

This event is EXCLUSIVELY for MIIGD 2025 attendees, and trust me… you don’t want to miss this moment.

Being one of the first Icons ever honoured at the Most Influential Icons Gala Dinner remains one of my greatest acknowledgements — and since then, it’s been an honour to continue supporting MK Events and MIIGD with various services over the years. Watching this concept evolve and grow has been truly inspiring, and I can’t wait to meet the 2025 Icons this Friday. 🌟

🎟 Get your Gala tickets today and join us for an unforgettable night!
After the Gala Dinner — we take it to another level at the After Party:

📍 Hermanus Cricket Club
🗓 Friday, 28 November 2025
