The 2024 edition of Maftown Heights has cemented its place as one of South Africa’s premier music festivals, delivering an unforgettable celebration of Motswako and Hip-Hop culture.
Thousands of music lovers gathered at Mary Fitzgerald Square in Newtown, turning Johannesburg into the heartbeat of South African music and entertainment for one electrifying night.
From the first beat to the final encore, Maftown Heights proved why it’s the festival that everyone wants to be at. With a star-studded lineup with standout performances from Khuli Chana & The Motswako Republic, The NuTswako Nation with Maglera Doe Boy, K.O., Sjava, and more, and a closing set from Cassper Nyovest, the stage was a showcase of unmatched talent, energy, and South African pride. Khuli Chana also took to the stage to tease an upcoming partnership with Swedish beauty and wellness giant, Oriflame, slated for 2025.
This year’s festival wasn’t just about the music—it was about creating unforgettable moments and celebrating the culture. Festival-goers immersed themselves in exciting experiences, from the Red Bull F1 Simulators to the Legends Barber pop-up, which offered the first 40 guests free haircuts. Fun and games added to the vibe, with arcade games, a human foosball inflatable, and a basketball half-court keeping the energy high throughout the night. The food stalls brought their A-game, offering a diverse menu of gourmet burgers, wings, tacos, chips, and Shisa Nyama. Attendees also had the chance to grab exclusive Maftown Heights merchandise, repping the event in style.
