A star-studded lineup is set to perform, featuring popular artistes such as Jah Master, Sandra Ndebele, Chief Hwenje, DJ Fantan, Iyasa, Godolude, Jeys Marabini, Clement Magwaza, Sasha Madube, Mzoe7, Madlela Skhobokhobo, Simon Mutambi, Jah Signal, Mbare Chimurenga, and Mark Ngwazi, among many others.

SADC chairman, President Emmerson Mnangagwa will lead the SADC Anti-Sanctions Day activities, continuing the regional call to end the sanctions that have burdened Zimbabwe for over 23 years.
SADC Anti-Sanctions Day was officially established in August 2019 under the chairmanship of Tanzania’s late president, Dr. John Magufuli.
