New organisers Izwi Multimedia in partnership with events guru Adele Lucas Promotions are welcoming CATHSSETA, Gauteng City Region Academy and Joburg Expo Centre, as some of their partners.
Izwi Multimedia Group Managing Director Thandi Ramathesele said: “It has been a long time coming, this event is steeped in rich history since the days of the Homemakers Festival. As the new majority partners in the Soweto Festival Expo, we are excited that we can safely say the road has begun to take the ownership of the product back to the people.
With the support of our partners will we be able to put on a wonderful event and reignite the passion the Soweto Festival Expo has instilled since 2005.”
The entertainment line-up promises to be varied and crowd-pulling, with big name artists such as Thebe featuring on the Friday night.
