Mahindra South Africa is set to redefine the festival scene with the launch of Fusion Fest, an event that promises to celebrate the vibrancy and creativity of South Africa. Taking place on Saturday, 22nd February 2025, at the SunBet Arena at Time Square in Pretoria, Fusion Fest goes beyond being just a festival—it is a bold cultural movement that celebrates diversity through music, fashion, and art.
At the heart of Fusion Fest is an exceptional musical experience that pushes creative boundaries. The festival’s lineup features four groundbreaking performances that bring together some of South Africa’s most celebrated artists from vastly different musical genres. These unique collaborations include:
- Cassper Nyovest (Hip-Hop) X Zandile Mzazi (Opera) X Radio Kalahari Orkes (Afrikaans Country): A unique blend of street-savvy rhymes, classical vocals, and rustic charm.
- Sjava (Afro Pop) X Matthew Mole (Indie Pop) X Tarryn Lamb (Afrikaans Pop): A melodic meeting of soulful narratives and cross-genre rhythms.
- Mi Casa (Dance House) X Young Stunna (Amapiano) X K.O. (Hip-Hop): A sonic explosion that fuses dance-floor anthems, amapiano grooves, and rap beats.
- Kamo Mphela (Amapiano) X Sipho “Hot Stix” Mabuse (Afro-Jazz) X Aymos (Amapiano): A powerful collaboration showcasing the past, present, and future of South African music.
Each collaborative performance will blend genres and styles in ways never seen before, offering audiences an entirely new sonic experience. In addition to these groundbreaking sets, the artists will also perform solo hits, ensuring a dynamic mix of collaboration and individual brilliance. To further amplify local talent, Mahindra will host a music talent search early in 2025, giving aspiring South African musicians a platform to showcase their skills and the chance to perform on the Fusion Fest stage.
While music forms the most exciting part of the festival, fashion and art add even greater depth to this celebration. World-renowned designer Thula Sindi will debut an exclusive “Mahindra Line” inspired by the sleek design of Mahindra SUVs. Festival-goers will also have the opportunity to purchase limited-edition merchandise that reflects a bold blend of sophistication and South African heritage. Emerging designers will also be invited to participate in a fashion talent search, highlighting Mahindra’s commitment to nurturing creativity across industries.
The art segment of Fusion Fest will feature immersive installations and interactive exhibits that explore the theme of fusion by blending tradition and modernity, individuality and community. These artistic expressions will celebrate South Africa’s vibrant culture while reflecting global influences, creating a space for innovation and shared experiences.
As Mahindra steps into its third decade in South Africa, Fusion Fest symbolizes the brand’s evolution and its commitment to building deeper connections with the communities it serves. According to Rajesh Gupta, CEO of Mahindra South Africa, “The Mahindra Fusion Fest is more than just a festival—it is a bold statement of our commitment to South Africa. Through music, fashion, and art, we’re creating a platform that unites communities and amplifies the voices of this vibrant nation.”
A portion of ticket sales will be donated to local community upliftment projects, ensuring that Fusion Fest leaves a lasting legacy of positive change. Tickets start at R150 and can be purchased here or won through competitions at local Mahindra dealerships.
