MTN BUSHFIRE welcomes fire starters back
MBABANE - MTN BUSHFIRE is ready to welcome fire starters back to the festival from Friday until Sunday with its #BRINGYOURFIRE clarion call to ignite action for social change.
The #BRINGYOURFIRE mandate guides the festival’s conscious and continuous efforts to promote tolerance and inclusivity and to challenge discrimination based on race, gender, sexuality or religion, or any other kind.
Commitment
At the core of the #BRINGYOURFIRE philosophy is the festival’s continuous commitment to working with and uplift the Swazi community, through direct support and through providing platforms for creative advocacy to raise awareness and forums for dialogue that address burning social and environmental issues. This year’s MTN BUSHFIRE Bring Your Fire Zone makes this manifest inspiring call to action. Within the Zone, various partners and festivalgoers actively engage to make a personal contribution and bring the festival’s commitment to social action and engagement to life.

Structured
It was structured in such a way that after the selection, they picked 90 from the initial number, including those who attended the live auditions interview.
The Dance YoDumo judges then about innovations in sustainable lifestyles and greener living; take part in the fun, thought-provoking activations; and join their voices to the inspiring discussions and talk-shops in the Bring Your Fire Zone.
The Bring Your Fire Zone is a collective responsibility space, to discuss and promote awareness of crucial issues that impact our daily lives as well as our future, both locally and globally.
Energy
Gender equality, sustainable energy, innovation, education, arts development, skills sharing, HIV and health, orphan mentorship support and community development all feature in this vitally important arena.
The Bring Your Fire Zone is a space alive with activations and interactions throughout the three-day weekend of the MTN BUSHFIRE festival.
Partners from various organisations spark conversations about pertinent issues through their activations and stall displays.
