Temaswati Simelane, one of the event organisers, shared the motivation behind this exciting initiative. “Our primary aim for this event is to achieve good grades, as it is part of our school project.
However, it goes beyond academics; we want to develop our organizing and marketing skills,” she explained.
Simelane emphasized the importance of financial sustainability, stating, “We hope to gain financially through ticket sales and sponsorships, which will allow us to continue pursuing our passions in event management.”
“Successfully bringing a vintage event to life can be highly rewarding, especially when we see guests enjoying our efforts,” she added.
The choice of Young Zesh as the headliner reflects the organizers’ commitment to showcasing local talent. “His status highlights not only his appeal to audiences but also the growing recognition of Eswatini’s music,” she noted.
