This year’s beloved MTN BUSHFIRE festival, which is the 14th edition is taking place digitally due effects of COVID-19

The MTN BUSHFIRE festival organisers have put a virtual spin on the festival and all donations made are set to go straight to charity.

Partnership

The live experience, in partnership with event technology platform Howler, promises to bring an immersive two-way virtual experience that recreates the unique atmosphere of the festival.

“This is the time to Immerse yourself in our renowned authentically African and globally-infused programme as we recreate the unique atmosphere of the MTN BUSHFIRE festival including some of your favourite artists performing from home, along with highlights from previous festivals, and other MTN BUSHFIRE festival experiences including the KidZone, Bring Your Fire Zone, House on Fire and Firefly stages.”

Commenting on the MTN BUSHFIRE digital edition BUSHFIRE communications officer Phiwokuhle Dhlamini was quoted saying, “virtual attendees can expect a virtual experience that recreates the festival’s multidimensional experiences and the eclectic programming that keeps them coming back year after year.”

“The spirit of togetherness and inclusivity which the MTN BUSHFIRE festival is famous for will come alive in exciting themed Zoom rooms.”

The festival is completely free, however, you are urged to donate to Bushfire’s beneficiaries, Young Heroes – a charity that focuses on orphaned and vulnerable children and their elderly caretakers – as well as boMake Rural Projects – a community-based organisation that supports women and their families in rural Eswatini.

Donations will provide emergency relief packages that include food, cleaning supplies and personal protective equipment to some of Eswatini’s most vulnerable households. 100% of the proceeds will go towards supporting the two causes.

Partying for a good cause has always been synonymous with this festival, and its efforts last year saw it bringing in R330 000 for the two organisations.
