QWABE TWINS’ PERFORMANCE CUT SHORT

SIMUNYE - A poor sound system cut short the performance of the Qwabe Twins during the Workers’ Day celebration hosted by the Federation of Swaziland Trade Union (FESWATU) at Goshe Slokay Stadium in Simunye.

The Twins’ performance proceeded that of Duncan who left the over 2 000 workers yearning for more. The Durban-based Twins performed only four songs that were also cut short in between by sound glitches. The duo apologised to the workers and mentioned that they were grateful to be part of the line-up of performers on the day that jointly with workers commemorated their contribution in the workplace.

Gracing

Gracing the event were Ministry of Labour and Social Security Principal Secretary Makhosini Mndawe, Labour Commissioner Mthunzi Shabangu, FESWATU President Mashumi Shongwe and Senior Labour Officer Thabiso Dlamini. Also rendering performances on the day were the comedian duo Gogo and Silwane who left the workers in stitches, Dumako Brothers, MNation and the Ncandweni Christ Ambassadors. Ncandweni Christ Ambassadors led by their leader and former Nkilongo MP Timothy Myeni became the favourites during their two-hour performance.

The Gospel group joined by invited guests had the longest performance on the day with the crowd mobbing Myeni after he descended from the stage to join them. When security tried to prevent them from coming closer to the former legislator, Myeni openly urged the security to stop and allow him to be in the midst of his fans. Also sharing the stage with the artists was Siteki-based DJ Mfundo, who exceptionally outdid himself when he dished out the latest Amapiano mixed with house songs to send the workers into bliss of the moment.

Excitement

FESWATU President Shongwe expressed his excitement with the turnout of workers to celebrate their effort and contribution to the workplace. Shongwe also thanked the artists for honouring the invitation to perform during the day. Shongwe also joined the Ncandweni Christ Ambassadors on stage during their performance. Also noteworthy is that the celebration was marred with occasional escapades of exchange of blows from workers who were in a questionable state of sobriety. However, security officers and the police officers managed to calm the situation after chasing those involved in fist fights out of the stadium.
