The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality recently graced Port Elizabeth residents with a Jazz Festival that left Port Elizabeth residents craving for more of the show. The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality clearly prepared for the show in advance because the security was very tight in all angles, some roads were closed because of this event, and this was for traffic purposes.
This all started on Friday the 13th of May at the Vuyisile mini square which is also known as the market square. On Friday it was just an opening show and it was a free show, it started at 17h00 and ended at 23h00. The main concert was on Saturday the 14th of May at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium where the tickets to enter was R40.00-R400.00. There were many artists who were rocking there, amongst those artists there was also the talented Bra Hugh Masekela, Goldfish and Belinda Adams.
On Saturday the doors were opened at 14h00 and the show started at 14h30. Indeed it was a main event because it included artists like freshly ground, Huge Masekela, Prime Circle, Geoge Benson, Jamali and Loyiso Bhala who was an important guest. People came from all over the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape to witness this big event that was held by the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality. “It was a very exciting and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen, not to mention the vibe and the hospitality of the Nelson Mandela Bay”, said Velem Spark, who came for the festival from Westen Cape. This viewer says he came all the way from Cape Town to witness this festival, especially to watch his favourite jazz legend in South African Music Bra-Hugh Masekela.
The performances from these superstars were of cause not disappointing. “They delivered exactly what I was expecting and the audiences enjoyed themselves”, said Anga Mnge, a Student from NMMU, who was truly excited about the whole show.
