Known for her high-energy performances and unmatched dance moves, Kamo Mphela is set to dazzle the Zimbabwean audience in what promises to be one of the festival’s most electrifying acts.
As an Amapiano sensation, Kamo has gained widespread fame across Africa, and her appearance at the Castle Lager Braai Fest marks another milestone in her growing influence across the continent.
Her ability to command the stage with infectious rhythms and captivating choreography has made her a household name in South Africa, and her performance in Harare is expected to draw Amapiano lovers in droves. Fans will be treated to hits like Amanikiniki and Nkulunkulu, as Kamo brings her signature energy to one of Zimbabwe’s biggest stages.
Kamo Mphela won’t be performing alone—she will be sharing the spotlight with Winky D, Zimbabwe’s most celebrated dancehall artist. Known for his passionate performances and his strong connection with Zimbabwe’s ghetto youth, Winky D has a 20-year catalog of hits that speaks to social issues, resilience, and celebration.
His return to the Castle Lager Braai Fest comes after a much-acclaimed performance last year, and fans can expect nothing short of a musical explosion.
The synergy between Kamo Mphela’s pulsating Amapiano beats and Winky D’s dancehall anthems is sure to create a memorable experience for attendees. Festival-goers will witness a cross-border musical celebration, highlighting the best of both Zimbabwean and South African talent.
In addition to Kamo Mphela and Winky D, the festival will feature performances by some of Zimbabwe’s rising stars, including Saintfloew, a fast-emerging hip-hop artist, and Master H, a popular DJ and producer.
These acts, alongside a lineup of talented DJs, will keep the festival alive with diverse sounds, from Afrobeat to local rhythms, ensuring non-stop entertainment throughout the day.
Beyond the music, the Castle Lager Braai Fest is a celebration of Zimbabwean culture, particularly the beloved braai tradition. Attendees will enjoy an array of flame-grilled meats and traditional dishes, creating a festive atmosphere of community and sharing. With food, music, and a sense of togetherness, the event will encapsulate the warmth and vibrancy of Zimbabwean culture.
As always, organizers are committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all attendees. Mrs. Patricia Murambinda, general manager for corporate affairs at Delta Corporation, the event’s sponsor, has assured festival-goers that safety measures will be in place for the duration of the event.
“Delta is always committed to providing the highest level of security at the Castle Lager National Braai Day and any other related corporate events,” stated Mrs. Murambinda. “We want our guests to enjoy the festivities without any concerns, knowing that their safety is a priority.”
With Kamo Mphela bringing her Amapiano magic and Winky D holding it down for Zimbabwean dancehall, the Castle Lager Braai Fest is set to be the highlight of Harare’s social calendar.
From mouth-watering braai dishes to electrifying performances, the festival offers something for everyone. Whether you’re a fan of Amapiano, dancehall, or just good food and fun, this event promises to be unforgettable.
