Brand SA and the department of sports, arts and culture, in association with Constitution Hill, present Play Your Part Africa Live Stream Concert on May 30.

Mazwai, who, cryptically as ever, gave away little in the way of what we might expect from her first live stream set, has been reeling from the effect of the virus on the music industry.

On the other hand, it has been really amazing for deejays, with Quarantine Radio by [US DJ] D-Nice and shows such as the Lockdown House Party on Channel O.”

This event will be streamed live from Constitution Hill, which is quite a daring move by the department, although all safety protocols are said to be observed.

“The key for us as a department is that we continue to create and identify opportunities which can provide relief to the sector during this Covid-19 pandemic, by promoting the work of our artists while advocating for the tangible growth of a socially cohesive society”, said Vusumuzi Mkhize, the director-general of the department.

Despite the arts approaching uncharted terrain, Mazwai is willing to adapt and evolve.
