Lekker! As Jack Parrow enthused numerously, at Unity on the Square Musical Festival on the Day of Reconciliation in South Africa, December 16, 2023, Greenmarket Square, Cape Town CBD.

There was a fantastic vibe at this music festival which was birthed during Covid by Loukmaan Adams and his wife Shaakirah Adams. Bravo to the outstanding organisation by the Adams family and team. There was excellent security, toilets, kidsZone (I wanted to play there), shopping (stalls) and food.  It was wonderful to see the mentoring and trauining of interns and the job creation. Great to see the support of the City of Cape Town and other partners and brilliant to see the igniting of this heritage square – Greenmarket Square. The vibe and gees was fantastic and one felt safe to be in our Mother City at night. We need that. I look forward to the 2024 edition of Unity on The Square Music Festival Cape Town.
