Maftown Heights Announces Official Date For This Year’s Event. After a brief hiatus, one of South Africa’s most iconic hip-hop festivals, Maftown Heights, is set to make a triumphant return this November.
Renowned for celebrating the vibrant hip-hop culture of the Motswako movement, the festival has historically drawn crowds from all corners of the country, uniting fans and artists alike for an unforgettable experience.
Since its inception in 2010, Maftown Heights has become a cultural staple, providing a platform for Motswako’s biggest names—such as Khuli Chana, Cassper Nyovest, HHP, and Tuks Senganga—to showcase their talents alongside emerging artists.
The festival has played a pivotal role in pushing the Motswako sound to the mainstream, blending elements of Setswana and other South African languages with the universal appeal of hip-hop. This year’s edition promises to be a celebration of the genre’s evolution, featuring a stellar lineup of both legends and rising stars.
Maftown Heights organizers took to social media to announce the highly anticipated event will hit the stage on November 29th, kicking off the festive season with a bang as we head into Ke Dezember! While the full lineup is yet to be announced, anticipation is already building as fans await what is sure to be an electric atmosphere.
Maftown Heights 2024 will not only pay tribute to the past and the late SA rappers. But also set the stage for the future of Motswako and South African hip-hop. As the festival gears up to take center stage once again, it’s clear that the spirit of Maftown will continue to thrive, uniting fans through a shared love of music and culture.
