Grynberg emphasised that the event is evolving, “This year’s Beach Affair marks a significant milestone in its evolution,” she explained. “The lineup has been carefully curated to cater to a wide range of musical tastes.”
Attendees can also look forward to a full-day experience, “There will be food stalls, a dedicated bar area, art installations, and a marketplace showcasing local crafts,” she said. “Security personnel will be stationed throughout the venue, and we’ve partnered with local authorities to ensure compliance with all safety regulations.”
The long weekend wraps up in style with Pretty Girls Love Good Music – All White Picnic Edition, hosted at Lunar Gardens and headlined by none other than Kabza De Small, April 20 at Lunar Gardens.
According to Godwin Kennedy Sebina, Director & Brand Manager of ~Exzozo Entertainment, the event is a celebration of women and elegance.
“Pretty Girls concept is all about centering women entirely, to give them essence of positive self-esteem about themselves, making them appreciate that every woman is beautiful in her own way,” Sebina said. “White expresses purity, innocence, cleanliness, and a fresh start. We need to protect women at all costs.”
On bringing Kabza De Small to Maun, Sebina credited long-standing relationships.
“I have a great relationship with South African artists and management companies built over years,” he explained. “If you recall, he started the first edition at Royal Aria Stadium and he’s briefing fire and guns blazing to Maun.”
He assured fans of a secure, high-end experience, “We are going to ensure high security level—two checkpoints before entering, no weapons allowed, dogs, horses, marshals patrolling in and outside,” he emphasized. “This is an event of class, elegance, and high-end clientele.”
