Taste of Tzaneen at Fairview Hotel from 3-5 November is going to dish up a charming and delightful array of local flavours, not only in food and drink, but also in entertainment. Apart from cabaret, pop/rock, classical and gospel there is also a slot filled with Afro-pop and jazz – home-brewed.
 
If you want to experience this full band sound, make sure you hang around near the swimming pool area on Friday, 3 November between 15:00 and 17:00 – the lazy Friday afternoon time between lunch and sundowners.
 
Mpho and Mates consist of eight musos merged together to cook up a magical sound that will get your feet a-tapping. Mpho Bambo himself plays the lead and bass guitars. Dr Pat Malungane has fingers that tickle the piano and keyboard, Rumbi Shipalane, Gladwin Mathebula, Judith Nhemo and Frank Ntlemo add their voices to the mix, Tshwarelo Mafaralala does the drums and Emmy Seloise plays the piano.
 
The group has known each other for six years and mostly play their best music for the Master at the Word Miracle Church. However, their repertoire reaches wider than gospel and they are therefore invited to play at corporate events, weddings, conferences, dinners and parties.
 
Weather permitting, this band at the Taste of Tzaneen Fest will put you in a truly festive mood that will last for the entire weekend and longer. Don't miss out.
