Soweto, South Africa — 14 September 2026-The 9th annual Soweto Kota Festival Soweto Kota Festival successfully brought together food lovers, music fans, families, entrepreneurs and members of the Soweto community for an unforgettable weekend of township culture at the Elkah Cricket Oval in Rockville, Soweto, on 12 and 13 September 2026. Hosted by SID Entertainment Pty Ltd, the festival once again celebrated the iconic kota while showcasing the creativity, entrepreneurship and cultural spirit that have made the Soweto Kota Festival one of Soweto's most anticipated annual events.
Festival-goers enjoyed a wide variety of kota creations, with vendors bringing their own unique flavours and styles to the celebration. The event also created a platform for local businesses and entrepreneurs to connect with consumers, demonstrating the important role the festival continues to play in supporting township economic development.
Beyond the food, the weekend delivered an exciting entertainment experience, with live performances and activities that kept audiences entertained across both days. The festival attracted people from different age groups and backgrounds, reinforcing its position as a celebration for the entire community.

The 2026 edition was made possible through the support of sponsors, partners, vendors, media and the dedicated festival team. Partners involved in supporting this year's festival included Aromat, Renault, GoTyme Bank, Standard Bank, PayShap, First Choice Cheese, Supastore Dlamini and other stakeholders, alongside strategic media partners Sowetan, Soweto TV and Jozi FM.
Founder Sidwell Tshingilane expressed his gratitude to everyone who contributed to making the 9th edition a success.
“We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, partners, vendors, media and the entire team who worked tirelessly to make this year's festival possible. The support and energy shown by everyone who attended is a reminder of what the Soweto Kota Festival represents — heritage, community and opportunity. As we close our 9th edition, we are already looking forward to celebrating an even bigger milestone with our 10-year anniversary in 2027.”
The Soweto Kota Festival has continued to grow into a significant platform for local entrepreneurs and community development, creating opportunities for vendors and temporary employment for young people while giving businesses a space to reach new audiences.

As the curtains close on the 2026 edition, the organisers extend their sincere appreciation to every festival-goer, sponsor, partner, vendor, artist, media representative and team member who contributed to the success of the event.
With nine successful editions behind it, the Soweto Kota Festival now looks ahead to its highly anticipated 10-year celebration in 2027, which promises to mark a major milestone in the festival's journey and its continued celebration of Soweto's food, culture, music and entrepreneurial spirit.

Sandile Mahlangu on Preparing for Tropika Island of Treasure: “It Was the Body That I Needed to Psychoengineer” Tropika

For Sandile, preparing for his stint on the upcoming 12th season of Tropika Island of Treasure meant getting his body ready for whatever the competition could throw at him, and that meant taking his training seriously.

Knowing that the season would test contestants physically, mentally and strategically, Sandile kicked off a rigorous cardiovascular programme in the lead-up to the competition. It was a decision that ultimately paid off, although he admits that no amount of preparation could have fully prepared him for just how demanding the experience would be.

Ahead of the show’s highly-anticipated premiere next week, Sandile reveals how he got himself ready for the adventure and why he was looking for a challenge that would push him to express himself more authentically.

Tropika Island of Treasure is a pretty serious physical challenge. How did you prepare yourself for the competition?

I started a rigorous cardiovascular programme in the hope that it would prepare me for what was coming, and thankfully, it did help. But wow, the competition is tough! You can prepare as much as you want, but nothing quite prepares you for the intensity of actually being there and having to push yourself beyond what you thought your limits were.

What did your training routine look like in the lead-up to Tropika Island Of Treasure?

There was a lot of running, a lot of weightlifting and intermittent fasting. I really wanted to get my body into the best possible shape before going in. One of my personal goals was to be able to comfortably lift my own body weight by the time I entered the competition. It was about building both strength and endurance and making sure my body could keep up with what I knew would be a demanding experience.

Did you have to change anything about your diet or lifestyle while preparing for the challenges?

Absolutely. I had to be much more intentional about what I was putting into my body and how I was living day to day. When you’re preparing for something as physically demanding as Tropika Island Of Treasure, you quickly realise that training is only one part of the equation. Recovery, nutrition and discipline all become just as important.


The show isn’t just about being fit, there’s also strategy and teamwork involved. How did you prepare yourself mentally for that side of the competition?


Interestingly, I didn’t feel the need to prepare too much for the mental side. Given my background in Electrical Engineering, problem-solving is something I naturally thrive on. A big part of my studies was about breaking down complex problems and finding solutions, so I felt quite comfortable with that aspect. It was my body that needed the most “psychoengineering” and getting my physical strength and endurance to a level where they could match my mind.


You’re heading to Réunion Island for the season. What are you most excited about experiencing there?


The culture, without a doubt. Whenever I travel somewhere new, I make a point of experiencing the local culture and understanding how people live. I love immersing myself in a different way of life rather than simply seeing the tourist attractions, so getting to experience Réunion Island and its people was something I was really looking forward to.



What are you hoping to get out of the Tropika Island of Treasure experience that you wouldn’t necessarily get from a normal holiday or adventure?



I wanted a challenge that would allow me to express myself truthfully and wholeheartedly. A normal holiday gives you an opportunity to relax and explore, but something like this show forces you to dig deeper. You’re challenged physically, mentally and emotionally, and I think there’s something really valuable about being put in an environment where you have to show up as your most authentic self.



Outside of Tropika Island of Treasure, what else do you have in store for the rest of 2026?



It’s going to be a really exciting few months. I have a film coming to cinemas on September 24, which I’m incredibly excited about, and I’ll also be making my return to ‘Inimba’ later this year. My character went into rehab, which conveniently gave me some time to step away and prepare myself physically and mentally for Tropika Island Of Treasure. So there’s a lot happening, and I’m really looking forward to sharing what’s next with audiences.


The 12th season of Tropika Island of Treasure, set against the stunning backdrop of Réunion Island, will premiere on Wednesdays from 23 September at 21:00 on SABC 1, with a repeat every Thursday from 24 September at 18:00 on S3.

The fourth season of the BRICS+ Fashion Summit will take place in Moscow later this month from 28-30 September 2026.

Over the past several years, it has become the largest event for the Fashion Business of Fast-Growing Economies and one of the key fixtures on the international industry calendar globally.

The Forum is among the accredited BRICS events; last season, it brought together more than 15,000 attendees and delegates from over 60 countries.

In 2026, the Forum will feature a broad range of African participants, underscoring the particular relevance of this year’s Summit agenda for the continent. South Africa will be represented by Stephen Manzini, CEO of Soweto Fashion Week and Colleen Eitzen (co-founder of major retailer The Space), with leaders of key fashion industry institutions from across the continent also joining. This includes Susan Sabet, Board Member and Secretary General of the Egyptian Fashion & Design Council and a BoF 500 member; Mahlet Teklemariam, Founder of Hub of Africa Fashion Week and a BoF 500 member; Hind Joudar, Founder and CEO of Maroc Fashion Week; Nana Addo Tamakloe of Accra Fashion Week; Brian James Kihindas of Kenya Fashion Council; Mmantlha Sankoloba, CEO of Botswana Exporters and Manufacturers Association; Kalistu Ramos Mukoroli, Director of MTC Windhoek Fashion Week; Tery Carola, CEO of Seychelles Fashion Week; Dawson Deng, Co-Founder and Executive Director of South Sudan Fashion Week and many other key stakeholders.

Over the three days of the BRICS+ Fashion Summit, African brands and manufacturers will have an opportunity to discuss cooperation, network and exchange experience with colleagues from across the continent and with representatives of fast-growing economies in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America who would come to Moscow.

For South African businesses, BRICS+ Fashion Summit offers export opportunities and new ways to enter the markets of other fast-growing economies. African participants in the Forum have already built a notable track record: Botswana-based brand House of Ditso is discussing the possibility of establishing a presence in the Russian and CIS markets, while MTC Windhoek Fashion Week is in talks with Moscow Fashion Week about a designer exchange program, among other results.

Kenya Fashion Council and Nairobi Fashion Week Director Brian James Kihindas, hosted an important meeting at the summit in Moscow, bringing together fashion week organisers from East, West, Southern and North Africa around the same table for the first time. With fashion industries across the continent largely developing in isolation, focused primarily on promoting local talent within their own borders, opportunities for cross-border trade, designer mobility and collective negotiating power have remained fragmented. This meeting marked an important step towards changing this, creating a platform for African fashion leaders to connect, collaborate and explore a more unified approach to growing the continent’s fashion industry.

“In Moscow, inspired by the broader BRICS framework of multilateral cooperation, we made a collective decision: To build a unified umbrella body for African fashion week conveners. What started as a pivotal meeting in Moscow has evolved into an active, everyday network driven by our dedicated digital community hub: conveners regularly exchange insights on production standards, buyer acquisition, sponsor engagement, and event logistics suited for African markets,” Brian James Kihindas explains.

No stranger to the BRICS and Fashion Summit, Soweto Fashion Week and South African Fashion Association CEO Stephen Manzini returns to Moscow for the 2026 edition and describes the Summit’s role in Africa’s creative industries: “The BRICS+ Fashion Summit is a critical communication platform for emerging countries, especially for Africa. It provides a rare space where our voices, stories, and design philosophies are seen and respected on equal footing. For African creatives, it’s a gateway to connect with like-minded partners from the Global South, share our cultural richness, and position fashion as both a creative and economic force”.

Alongside the BRICS+ Fashion Summit, a new season of Moscow Fashion Week will take place from 26 September 26 to 1 October 2026 Moscow, Russia.

The program for the new season of this major global event for emerging fashion will feature more than 70 runway shows by brands from over ten countries – from Türkiye to Sri Lanka and from Spain to China.
