​Mkhondo Local Municipality Heritage Celebration "Tourism For All" event through INGOMA

Once again, on the 05 November 2016 Mkhondo Local Municipality hosted an INGOMA event competion, 25 Groups were invited to compete against each other celebration and showcasing the beauty of our cultural way of dancing through "Ukugida", the groups were dressed on their cultural diversity attires. The Event took place at Entombe (Ezitholeni) Sports Ground - Ward 15.

On the 10th September 2016, the stunning Pretty Yende September 2016, the stunning Pretty Yende made a home coming visit and called upon the people of eMkhondo to come and celebrate her music journey at the Mkhondo town hall.

The born and bred star from eMkhondo was very excited to interact with her homies and fans, the opera singer was selling her first CD album, which sold like hot cakes, as the event unfolded the star allowed the audience to ask her questions concerning her journey in the music industry. At the end of her conversation with the audience she concluded by saying "Do what you believe will make you a successful somebody in the future."

Pretty Yende released her debut album, 'A Journey'. Her accent is a strange mixture of isiZulu and Italian. During the event she interacted with her fans by signing autographs. You could see that the fans were in jubilation.
