EZULWINI- Mhaw Keys and Russell Zuma unite for a night of unforgettable musical bliss.
The countdown to one of Eswatini’s most anticipated events just got even more thrilling. Both Mhaw Keys and Russell Zuma have officially confirmed their appearance at The Love Affair, happening Friday, 1 August 2025, at Mdzimba View Shisanyama from 18:00 till late.
Speaking on behalf of the entertainment team, Makaphile Nxumalo shared the strategic thinking behind the event’s timing and the unforgettable experience in store.
“We wanted to give people a full weekend experience,” said Nxumalo. “Many who attend Luju Festival are already in the mood to celebrate, and hosting The Love Affair on the same day provides an alternative for those looking for a different vibe. It also allows us to capture a wider audience and create a weekend full of entertainment for everyone in Eswatini.”
Nxumalo confirmed. “Both artists have expressed their excitement to share the stage together, and without revealing too much, attendees can expect exclusive joint moments that will only happen at The Love Affair Show. We want it to feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
Designed to be intimate, stylish, and vibrant, the event promises:
A high-quality sound and lighting experience to match world-class performances.
VIP ticket holders will enjoy exclusive lounge access and front-row seating.
Romantic décor, drink specials, and a setting that invites connection under the stars.
“Safety is our top priority,” Nxumalo emphasized.
“We will have trusted and experienced bouncers on-site who know the venue well. Entry and exit points will be tightly controlled, the venue will be well-lit, and management staff will be on the ground to ensure the night runs smoothly and safely.”
Could The Love Affair become an annual staple on the entertainment calendar?
“We will definitely consider it,” Nxumalo shared. “If the reception is as positive as we hope, we’ll take the feedback into account and explore the possibility of making it a regular feature at Mdzimba View.”
Joining the headliners are top-tier supporting acts who will keep the dance floor warm and the energy high. These include:
Sbu De Drum
DJ Zulu D
Lady Zee
Ayacity
Sgitha
Leading the night with charisma and crowd control will be none other than MC Sintour, who will serve as the evening’s official host, keeping the crowd hyped and the night flowing smoothly.
