MANZINI– Ocean Cuisine was transformed into a vibrant sea of denim and white on Sunday, 30 November 2025, as the highly anticipated birthday celebration for Sbu De Drum DJ and Sgitha drew hundreds of excited party-goers.
The energy was electric from start to finish, with South African Amapiano star Leehleza delivering an explosive performance that set the tone for an unforgettable afternoon.
The Denim & White birthday bash was a flawless fusion of fashion, music, and celebration. Guests stepped out in impeccable style, embracing the theme with a mix of creative, elegant, and bold outfits. As soon as the festivities began, the venue buzzed with laughter, dancing, and the unmistakable spirit of Eswatini’s ever-growing entertainment culture.
Leehleza, born Lindelihle Gladwell, headlined the celebration with a powerful set that showcased his renowned vocal talent and dynamic stage presence. A celebrated figure in South Africa’s Amapiano movement, Leehleza is best known for his hit collaborations with Kabza De Small — including smash tracks such as Umshove, Bamba La, and Amabele Shaya. His performance at Ocean Cuisine reinforced his reputation as one of the genre’s most compelling voices.
From the moment he stepped onto the stage, the crowd erupted. Leehleza’s mix of live vocals, high-energy delivery, and pulsating beats had the audience singing along, dancing, and cheering with unrestrained excitement. His effortless command of the stage made the performance feel more like a concert than a birthday event.
Adding to the atmosphere, Sbu De Drum DJ and Sgitha kept the momentum alive with their own electrifying sets between performances. The synergy among performers, DJs, and supporters created a festival-like environment — a celebration of music, friendship, and artistic talent.
By midday, Ocean Cuisine was packed to capacity. The event not only honoured the birthdays of two beloved entertainers but also demonstrated the growing influence of Amapiano in Eswatini’s social scene. Fans revelled in every beat, celebrating long after the final song as they praised the star-studded lineup for delivering a memorable, high-energy afternoon.
For those who missed out, the event’s success was a reminder of music’s power to unite people and the rising demand for world-class entertainment experiences in the kingdom. With artists like Leehleza continuing to bridge cultures and ignite crowds, Eswatini’s entertainment scene is clearly on a powerful upward trajectory.
