Culture Festival Celebration 2026

The 5th Annual Cultural Festival Celebration hosted by Makoti Assist

Featuring the crowning of Makoti of the Year 2025 & Zibazana of the Year 2025

Step into a powerful celebration of identity, heritage, and evolution.

This year marks more than just another event, it signals a bold new chapter for Makoti Assist. We’ve listened, we’ve grown, and we are answering the call to go deeper.

What began as a solution has transformed into a thriving community. And now, we gather to honour something greater:

Culture.

Family.

Legacy.

This is a celebration of the journeys that shape us who we are, where we come from, and who we are becoming.

We are expanding beyond tradition as we know it, creating a space that embraces both men and women, and reimagines how we preserve and celebrate ubuntu bethu in a modern world.

Expect an immersive experience filled with meaningful connection, storytelling, curated cuisine, and unforgettable moments all leading up to the crowning of two remarkable individuals who embody the spirit of our community.

And just when you think you’ve experienced it all…

We have something special brewing, a surprise moment that will be revealed on the day. One you’ll want to witness firsthand because this is bigger than an event.

It’s about preserving our heritage.

It’s about strengthening our families.

It’s about building something that will live beyond us.

So that our children’s children inherit more than memories but a living, breathing legacy.

Imvelaphi yabo, from us as abantu babo.

We can't wait to see you there!!

Location: East London / kuGompo.

Shhh, the exact location will be revealed soon.
