Keeping Maskandi front and centre
Downtown Music Publishing Africa is proud to support Maskandi star Khuzani Mpungose and the Imdlemlenze Foundation as Durban gears up for the 4th Annual Gcwalisa Spring Picnic (All White) on 8 November 2025 at Hollywoodbets Kings Park Outer Fields.
What’s happening
- Media briefing & build-up: The Gcwalisa team hosted a public media briefing as part of the event’s industry focus and workshop programme.
- Show day: A full-day, all-white picnic experience with performances that celebrate KwaZulu-Natal’s homegrown culture and sound.
Why this matters
Maskandi isn’t niche — it’s a living archive. Supporting Khuzani and the Imdlemlenze Foundation helps power youth mentorship, cultural preservation and new work creation while bringing the genre to broader audiences.
About Khuzani & Imdlemlenze
