MTN BUSHFIRE FESTIVAL GOERS’ QUESTIONS ANSWERED

MBABANE – Postponing the 14th Edition of the MTN BUSHFIRE FESTIVAL has been one of the hardest decisions that the team has had to make.

However, as a responsible and conscientious festival, prioritising the health and safety of the Kingdom of Eswatini and the diverse community of guests from across the globe and staff members, has made this decision a necessary one. The MTN BUSHFIRE team has come out to thank supporters and the festival goers for the positive and incredibly uplifting messages that have been sent to them since announcing the festival’s postponement to 28-30 May, 2021.

Tirelessly

“Our hearts go out to our dedicated team of staff members, vendors, artists, partners and sponsors who have worked tirelessly to make the MTN Bushfire festival experience yet another magical and memorable one,” said MTN BUSHFIRE’s Phiwokuhle Dhlamini. Dhlamini further went on to give a clearer picture of the impact that the festival has within Eswatini.
“In 2019, we generated E45 million for the country’s economy. Close to 1 000 jobs were created directly by the festival, and over 900 employment positions were created through the trade, accommodation, transport, communication and manufacturing sectors. To date, over E2.2 million has been sponsored to our beneficiaries, Young Heroes and boMake Rural Projects,” Said Dhlamini.  MTN BUSHFIRE had already engaged an electrifying range of music artists and creatives for its eclectic festival programme that appeal to Fire Starters from across the globe, year after year. Lists of vendors’ trading areas was finalised, and had settled on some exciting activation plans with the festival’s partners and sponsors.

Cancelled

“The show will go on! We #KEEPTHEFIREBURNING as the festival has been postponed, not cancelled. This means that all the exciting programming we had lined up for this year simply shifts to 2021. The MTN BUSHFIRE team has been keeping the fire alive, working hard, remotely from home, to ensure that we are safe while putting together an even more explosive festival for 2021.  So, if you’ve already invested in the MTN Bushfire experience by purchasing your tickets, you’ll be happy to know that you can automatically #BRINGYOURFIRE at the 2021 festival with the same tickets. However, we encourage you to contact our accommodation, camping and glamping service providers urgently as they have separate policies and requirements,” added Dhlamini.
