I do not drink alcohol – AT ALL, but today I feel like what I always imagined a hangover would feel like. You see, I am from Kgapane in Tzaneen. I woke up at 3 a.m. on Friday morning to get ready and was on my way out of Johannesburg at 4 a.m. I was home by 11 a.m. which took longer than usual. Usually it’s only a 5 hour drive from Johannesburg to Tzaneen.
This time it took longer because not only was it the Easter weekend but the ZCC church members were all driving to Moria, which is in Polokwane. The N1 was a nightmare
Anyway, Friday evening I attended a concert at my old high school Hoerskool Merensky. I hadn’t gone back there since my Grade 12 year so it was like a trip down memory lane. The only reason I went to the concert was because according to the posters plastered all over town, 340ml was also going to perform… but they didn’t.
I like rock music and artists such as The Parlotones, Maroon5, Linkin Park, Coldplay, Daughtry, Nickelback, The Script, Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne. So I was really looking forward to 340ml. Anyway, the rest of the lineup included Zahara, Big Nuz, Winnie Khumalo, Oliver Mtukudzi and Ringo Madlingozi. The only artists that pitched were Zahara, Big Nuz and Winnie Khumalo.
There was a huge turn up and the crowd was excited to see the artists that did pitch. I am not a fan of the artists but I had a great time. The crowd was so happy to see Zahara and they sang along to all the songs she sang. I love the dress and shoes that Zahara wore, gorgeous. I hope you will be able to see them in the photos I took.
Winnie Khumalo, WOW, that woman can dance! I quite enjoyed her performance and would definitely pay to see her again. I especially enjoyed it when Zahara and Winnie Khumalo both sang some of Brenda Fassie’s songs- another trip down memory lane.Big Nuz also performed well and the crowd loved them even though they were cut short by an electrical failure.
All in all I was up for about 24 hours because I only went back to bed at 3 a.m. on Saturday morning. I was beyond exhausted. But like my cousin Bridget always says “You Rest – You Rust!!”
