Top fashion moments from DJ Zinhle's Zee Nation Fest

Thousands flocked to Johannesburg to experience the second instalment of DJ Zinhle's Zee Nation festival for a day of vibrant performances and pink cowgirl fashion on National Women's Day. The vast venue filled with eager concert-goers kept busy with talent like Elaine, Nadia Nakai, Makhadzi, Nkosazana Daughter, Lliema Pantsi and more offering electrifying performances in between entertaining hosting from Moozlie, Zanele Potelwa and more stars. Merchandise stands, charging stations and a new addition of comfortable resting 'Era lounges' added a tailored edge to the event, an ode to its evident popularity. Although Rome wasn't built in a day. DJ Zinhle spoke to TRUELOVE ahead of the festival about what it was going to take to pull off the festival. 'Because last year was successful, I thought this year would be a breeze. Somebody lied to me. Because they said 'Oh, you guys have done it, you guys are just going to flow through the next one'. No, it's been so tough. I mean, I think also everyone can feel the economy is not strong right now, so there were a lot of challenges putting it together so the emotions are high and low. 'But thank God that we are such a unified team, because also when you're doing a festival like this with your friends, tensions get high so you also have to manage that. So, emotionally it's been taxing, it's been hectic but thank God we have one vision,' Zinhle said. Special highlights included Mkahadzi and Sjava's encore-inducing performance and Pearl Thusi bringing her daughter Thando to the stage. Pearl told TRUELOVE, 'It was a special moment because I played Thula Nana... thinking of Thando when she was a little baby crying for me at home because I had to be in the streets to work and to finally be able to take her with me and to bring her while that song is playing is like, I don't know, there's a little bit of closure there I think hopefully for both of us.' Performers, industry friends and the 'besties' on the ground brought fun high fashion to the nippy tail end of Johannesburg's winter, with DJ Zinhle and Moozlie's many wardrobe changes fueling the event's extravagance.
