The weather was cold, but the music was hot at three Africa Day concerts over the weekend. From Newtown on Friday night, to Saturday in Alex and a lazy Sunday afternoon in the sun at Mofolo Park in Soweto, what a weekend it was.
HUNDREDS of dedicated party people braved the icy weather on Friday evening to dance the night away in Newtown.
The free Africa Day concert, on Friday, 25 May, was held in the open air at Mary Fitzgerald Square. It was the first of three free Africa Day shows held over the weekend to showcase the best of African music and culture.
Wrapped up in their warmest clothes, people packed the square - but soon discarded their jackets and jerseys when the music started. Braziers, placed strategically around the square, kept the rest of the cold at bay.
