The festival is taking place on Friday May 3 and Saturday May 4 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC)

This year’s festival will showcase African music royalty alongside their international counterparts.

Lindsay Rhoda, head of talent at espAfrika, founders and organisers of the CTIJF, believes the line-up has delivered a masterful blend that showcases today’s global melting pot of cultures and storytelling, and one that embraces all ages.

The organisers of the festival have announced that the stage names will revert to their original designations and so once more, there will be Kippies (Sapphire), Manenberg (Topaz), Rosies (Emerald) and Moses Molelekwa (Ruby).
