The confirmed list of performers includes hip-hop powerhouse Cassper Nyovest, pop sensation Sho Madjozi, alongside SA’s finest music maestros and entertainers DJ Fresh, PH and newcomer Durban Gogo. The local favourites will be performing from their living rooms in line with the lockdown regulations, all marshalled by MC Donovan Goliath.
The artists will each be performing a unique set, that will be live-streamed from their own Facebook pages and aggregated on a stream from the KFC South Africa Facebook page for a 90-minute celebration of South African musical talent to help remind us that we’re ‘stronger, together’.
Audiences will not only be offered the chance to enjoy some top-quality local music to banish the lockdown blues, but also to open their hearts and donate to the Add Hope Foundation, which continues to help feed communities and families who are likely to go without food during this challenging period.
“In support of the government's efforts to confront the challenge we are faced with as a nation, the Add Hope Foundation continues to play a critical role in alleviating hunger in South Africa,” says Akhona Qengqe, KFC chief people officer. “KFC has committed R3m rand to the Add Hope Foundation to help reach even more communities. Our ability to unite when faced with challenges has always defined us as a nation and we hope South Africans will help us in doing even more – together!”
“Now, more than ever, we need South Africans to feel Hope and therefore, we will continue our feeding efforts to the most vulnerable in our society. We hope that Add Hope Live galvanises South Africans, through entertainment, to come together to contribute to making an even bigger impact during this pandemic.”
Add Hope Live kicks off at 4pm on Sunday, 26 April 2020. For full details, visit www.facebook.com/KFCSA.
