South African duo Jazzwrld & Thukuthela have been added to the star-studded lineup of the 2026 Eswatini Farmers Market.
The duo will perform at the Eswatini Farmers Market on October 10, 2026, at Malkerns Country Club, where they will share the stage with previously announced acts Zee Nxumalo, Oscar MBO and Jnr SA.
Organisers announced Jazzwrld & Thukuthela’s participation through the festival’s official social media platforms, describing the duo as “the current hottest Duo in Africa” and highlighting their international appeal.

“They are the current hottest Duo in Africa, currently on a world tour, with over 900 million streams,” the organisers said in announcing their inclusion on the lineup.
The announcement comes as anticipation builds towards the October event, with organisers continuing to reveal artists while encouraging festivalgoers to secure their tickets early.
The duo will join Zee Nxumalo, Oscar MBO and Jnr SA, with further announcements potentially expected as preparations for the festival continue.
Event organiser Mbekezeli ‘Culolam’ Dlamini said preparations had been underway for months, with the organising team working towards delivering an event that would build on the success of previous editions.
“We are preparing something that will surpass all expectations,” Dlamini said.
People should expect endless excitement and unforgettable moments.”
According to Dlamini, preparations have involved not only securing artists but also developing the wider festival programme and identifying ways of improving the experience for patrons.
He said the intention was not simply to replicate previous editions, but to introduce new elements that would give returning festivalgoers a different experience.
“We are not just repeating what we have done before,” Dlamini said.
The organiser said the approach was aimed at ensuring that the festival continues to evolve as the audience grows, while also maintaining the elements that have contributed to its popularity.
Dlamini said the continued development of the Eswatini Farmers Market reflected growing public interest in entertainment experiences that offer more than music.
“The Eswatini Farmers Market is now a festival which most people love. We continue to give people quality entertainment and quality experiences at a low fee,” he said.
Patrons can expect an environment featuring music performances, fashion, food, and social interaction, allowing the event to attract people with diverse interests. Dlamini said innovation would remain at the centre of the 2026 edition as organisers seek to keep the event fresh.
“There will be new artists, new themes, new fashion, new music and a whole new experience,” he said.
He explained that the programme was being carefully curated to ensure that the festival entertains throughout the day, rather than relying solely on headline performances.
