Makhelwane Fest

MAKHELWANE FESTIVAL IS AN IMMERSIVE, COMMUNITY-BASED CELEBRATION THAT IS DEEPLY ENTRENCHED IN THE RICH CULTURAL TAPESTRY OF SOWETO.

THE FESTIVAL NOW IN ITS 9TH YEAR DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM THE AGE-OLD TRADITION OF UBUNTU/BOTHO, EMBODYING THE SPIRIT OF COMMUNAL UNITY AND SHARED EXPERIENCES
THIS FESTIVAL IS MORE THAN JUST AN EVENT; IT'S A REVIVAL OF THE HISTORIC CULTURE AND LIFESTYLE OF TOWNSHIPS, WHERE NEIGHBORS ONCE OPENED THEIR HOMES TO ONE ANOTHER, FOSTERING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY THROUGH THE EXCHANGE OF FOOD, GIFTS AND LAUGHTER.

THE COMMUNITY OF POKA STREET IN ORLANDO WEST ARE DOING JUST THAT, AND ARE READY TO WELCOME YOU TO CELEBRATE THE SPIRIT OF UMAKHELWANE.
