Bojanala Waterfront turned into a vibrant wonderland over the weekend as people from different walks of life gathered around to celebrate yet another thrilling edition of Leteise on Fleek, courtesy of Colorful People Entertainments.

This year’s edition was headlined by Lloyiso, Thabsie and Musa from South Africa alongside local artistes, including Charma Gal, Ditiro Leero, Captain Dira, Dr Vom and Dj Fresh.

Dr Vom and Ditiro Leero took the stage together and had attendants dancing to the timeles Tsaya thobane track.

Prior to the duo’s performance, Ditiro had the opportunity to sing alone, bringing back nostalgic memories about the heyday of his musical career through his songs Mmalebopo and Semakaleng.

Through his legendary decade hits, Waja wa jelwa, Go Jewa Go Sutelwana, and Machobane, Captain Dira gave an outstanding performance.

Musa, who was performing at the event for the first time, performed his Mthande, which serves as a reminder that people should embrace and adore their lovers in spite of the difficulties they may face.

Despite its modest beginnings, Leteise on Fleek has grown to become the go-to event through its fusion of traditional and contemporary, which encourages innovation in the fashion sector.

Over the past three years, the event has successfully drawn prominent international acts to perform alongside local artistes, a significant advancement that has given local artistes visibility.

Colorful People Entertainments director and coordinator of Leteise on Fleek, David Letshwiti, said in an interview that a portion of the event’s proceeds would be towards social corporate responsibility initiatives.

“Since the start of Leteise on Fleek three years ago, we have launched a CSR project called Taka Child to School. The main goal is to purchase full school uniforms for some of the less fortunate kids,” he said.

He said although the initial concept was more of just a music festival, it had evolved into fashion, offering a fiesta of cultural celebration and an opportunity to bring together the young and old under the same roof for entertainment. ENDS
