I received an email/newsletter from VTH Season announcing that AKA will be in Durban for the Essence Festival this weekend. The mail reads:
“The SUPA MEGA AKA will be performing at the first South African Essence Festival this Saturday, eThekwini. The Essence Festival, also known as “the party with a purpose” is big in New Orleans, USA. This year, it comes to South African Shores in Durban. Broken into 6 different parts over the 8th to the 13th of November, with international speakers and artists such as Steve Harvey, Reverend Al Sharpton and Estelle. AKA will be live at the Essence All Star Music Festival, this Saturday, 12 November at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.”
Meanwhile AKA has received multiple nominations in the 2016 South Africa Hip-Hop Awards (SAHHA), which will take place on 14 December at the Lyric Theatre in Gold Reef City, Johannesburg.
