Even though the night was blessed with showers, the show dubbed ‘Blackout Experience’ gave fun lovers their money’s worth.

It was headlined by the ‘Umlando’ hitmakers, 9umba, Toss and Mdoovar from South Africa. The show was initially hosted at the Prince of Wales, but was later moved to Mega Lounge because of the heavy downpour. Speaking to the host, Yellow Swazi she explained why the venue had to be shifted.

“We decided to shift the venue because of the heavy rains. We had an open bigger venue,” she said. Despite the sudden change, patrons packed the Mega Lounge situated at Sidwashini.
