The initiative emphasizes on utilizing and having access to services offered by local businesses in the community. Some of the local artists attending the event includes, T-Lay Dj & producer, songstress Karabo who also appeared in Idols last year, rapper King Tony and M.C FishXv.
Unfortunately, Township Social Hub is not necessarily supported by local stakeholders in Braamfishcher and local businesses. Therefore, Mish Mash would like to advocate supporting local businesses and making each other rich as Black people.
