DESPITE the weather looking ominous and rain predicted, the eShowe Heritage Festival, held at the Fort Nongqayi Museum Village on Sunday, went ahead as planned.
The weather may have kept some people at home, but the full musical programme offered enough variety for all, with David Jenkins supported by Maqhinga Hadebe definitely one of the highlights.
Other musical items included Dave Starke, The Starlight Band, The Reflections and The Hots of eNtumeni, a trio under the name of the eShowe Community Choir and the Dloko School Choir.
Crafters, artists and plenty of food stalls added to the festive atmosphere.
