CAPE TOWN - The Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) was abuzz on Friday night as the Jazz Festival officially kicked off.

The 22nd edition of the festival is back again for a second consecutive year after a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It has so far hosted various artists like Black Coffee, The Ploemies, Bombay Lights, and many more.

Festival goers shared their excitement with Eyewitness News:

“This is my second time coming and I feel like it's been better than last year so far. The vibes are good, I love that there's new artists, and yeah, I'm having a good time,” one festival goer said.

Another said, "So, the friends that I'm with who are now silent are coming to see Masego and they're actually more excited than what I am. I'm actually here for the vibes hey. Like honestly, I was going to have FOMO at home on a Friday night, so why not get out and enjoy myself?”

“Well, I'm hoping it's going to be a fantastic evening. I am very excited to see Black Coffee. Obviously, that’s the highlight,” said another.
