EZULWINI– Lovers of vintage culture are in for a treat, as MC Bethu will be gracing the stage at this year’s Kuguga Othandayo 60s Vintage Party.
Set to take place on August 30, 2025, at the beautiful Sibane Sami Hotel at Zulwini.

The Kuguga Othandayo party is not just an event; it’s a journey back to the stylish 1960s, inviting attendees to immerse themselves in the era’s iconic fashion and lively atmosphere.
A highlight of this year’s event is the confirmed participation of Evans Phehla, a teacher by profession who has created a captivating character known as MC Bethu. Inspired by the 1980s female persona, MC Bethu embodies the spirit of Kofifi culture through captivating costumes, music, and dance.

From bell-bottoms to floral patterns, the atmosphere is infused with a retro vibe that transports everyone back in time.
Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Sibane Sami Hotel, the venue adds to the charm and elegance of the event. A standout feature of the night is the best-dressed competition, where the winner will receive a trip to Mozambique. This encourages creativity and adds an element of friendly competition among attendees.
While the focus is on 1960s aesthetics, the event also celebrates Eswatini’s rich culture through traditional attire, cuisine, and music, creating a delightful fusion of old and new. Unlike many events that feature live performances, Kuguga Othandayo fosters a space for social interaction, allowing vintage fashion enthusiasts to connect and share their passion.
