While many motorists and their passengers were marooned on the N3 because of the snow, other people could not give a damn about the cold weather in Joburg as they attended the 11th annual DStv Delicious Festival, which took place at Kyalami over the weekend.
Your gossip girl, guilty as charged, was also there freezing in the cold but let us backtrack on the headliner that was changed.
We heard that Janet Jackson could not attend because of her brother, Tito’s death but days later baby girl is already preparing for a tour, Shwa hears.
I get South Africa is far for her but maybe her team should have not posted that because it is now coming across as if she does not care about her fans here.
Shwa does hope though that baby girl has refunded the money used to book her, asidlali la eMzansi phela.
Anyway, a little birdie told me that Jason Derulo was allegedly enjoying himself in South Africa and the festival organizers decided to rope him in and offer him a gig. I am just sitting here wondering to myself how much Ms Jackson costs if they could replace her with both Jason and Busta Rhymes.
While on Busta Rhymes, who seems to be having a ball in the country, Shwa just wants to know when is he leaving? I would not want him to be banned from South Africa like Big Brother Titans star Marvin, who decided to overstay his welcome.
It was such a beautiful sight to see Thandiswa Mazwai perform. And before you guys judge me, yeah well, Shwa has never seen her perform live before; so it was my first time.
As I was minding my own business and walking past the Durban Tourism Summer activation, that took place at Lumo Lounge in Ruimsig, I saw Dladla Mshunqisi who still does not want to rebrand his hairstyle. I also spotted the likes of DJ Sox, DJ Bongz and Thandeka Zulu.
It really puzzles me how DJ Sox and Bongz are still in the game. When Shwa was in school, DJ Sox had a couple of girlfriends at the high school that she used to attend and back then he was the hottest thing that Durban had.
Durban Tourism team I saw how you were marketing the big city throughout the entire weekend at the festival but, I am going to need you to educate your home girl Nomzamo Mbatha on her hometown. She has just gone and fumbled a relationship with you guys.
The main stage is always nice and all but because the festival caters for everyone, Shwa found herself mostly at the Channel O stage and the VIP hospitality area. She was not going to risk getting the flu, medical aid is not cheap at all in this economy.
Shwa also spotted a few faces such as Heavy K, who was definitely heavy on that couch he was sitting on, PH, Priddy Ugly and Mthunzi.
We need to be honest though about Yvonne Chaka Chaka’s alleged singing; someone needs to say it regardless of her being considered a legend.
Gayton Mckenzie really believes in Mayoghurt; how else did this guy get to perform at the festival?
To actually think that I was worried about him the night before when he was being roasted on TikTok live by maskanda singer Mbeje.
Mbeje, look now where the same person you were roasting about his music is right, perhaps you should focus on your music and stop being intimidated by Mayoghurt.
Shwa also spotted Jill Scott, Sjava, The Maestro (aka Greg Maloka), Oskido, Cassper Nyovest, Focalistic, Khuli Chana, Maggz, Morafe, Okmalumkoolkat, Reason, Robot Boii and Touchline who all got the people excited.
