Last Thursday was astounding so I must say – I had the time of my life .
As I hang my head in shame though, I was over an hour late, although I hate being late or being kept waiting myself – I guess it was Murphy’s law – we got so lost – ended up in town and headed back to Umhlanga again where the event was held – because I didn’t want to disappoint myself and my @yEahbo.net acquaintance.
But I was lucky got there before the formalities started.
Firstly the venue was deserving to host the launch , the snacks served were also appetizing although I didn’t indulge too much.
The drinks also kept us going and the crowd was an alive crowd.
Nomuzi Mabena did a good job as well as an MC.
Need I say more about the performances ….. they were out of this world and I must say I’m glad they had KZN raised artist to perform there – they really represented Durban in a major way.
Ohh wow - this I tell you how out of this world the performances were? Let me paint a picture for you.....
When Teargas opened up the stage with their latest offering “ Jabula” , It was really time to celebrate the whole idea behind MTV All Stars and the mere fact that they made KZN priority .
“Wake Up” and “Mhlobo wami” were also performed.
That was a killer performance and then there was Big Nuz with “Umlilo” ,abo “Sting Ray” and “Ungazoba serious” – the boys represented for cheesy although the 3rd member R Mashesha wasn’t there, Tira joined them and made justice to the performance.
Zakes graced the stage aswell with his “wasting my time” tune and “Carolina “
Then there was Professor with “Thando” Ohh he did show us some love with his performance, “amafinger prints” “ X – ongasolveki” - That was another killer performance.
Tira on the decks also did his thing.
Big Nuz, Zakes Bantwini, Professor, Tira and Teargas got everybody on the dance floor – I didn’t get a chance to see the Nigerian Superstar Flavour the night was epic! though.
