Phinifa: Fashion Meets Cultural Pride
Phinifa is no longer just an event; it’s a lifestyle celebration of African identity through music and dress.
In South African communities, phinifa refers to the colourful traditional outfits worn by women at weddings, church gatherings, and social functions. These garments symbolise pride, dignity, and unity. The Jozi FM Phinifa embraces that meaning, turning it into a joyful celebration of life and togetherness.
It’s part concert, part fashion showcase, and part cultural reunion. This year’s theme, “Celebrating Life Through Music and Culture,” invites everyone to come dressed in their finest traditional wear, enjoy good music, and reconnect with the community.
A Strong Line-Up of Local Talent
The 2025 Phinifa brings together some of Gauteng’s most loved artists. Selaelo Selota, the legendary Afro-jazz musician, headlines the event alongside Mpho Mhlongo and Tshepo Jnr, one of the event’s organisers.
Other acts include Lady GP, Njomane, Tenacity, Queen Tee, and DJs Mami, Pro, Sasa, and Mr X. The line-up blends gospel, jazz, amapiano, and soul, giving the audience a rich mix of local sounds.
Each performance celebrates Gauteng’s creative heartbeat. Guests are encouraged to bring their camp chairs, cooler boxes, and community energy for a day that promises more than just entertainment.
Where Music Meets Lifestyle
The Phinifa Get Together is not only about music, it’s a full lifestyle experience. It celebrates township style, elegance, and local fashion talent.
The venue, Oops Lifestyle in Moletsane, is known for its open-air charm and relaxed atmosphere. Food stalls and local vendors will be on-site, offering guests everything they need for a full-day outing.
Tickets range from R150 to R200, making it an affordable event for families, friends, and anyone looking for an authentic Soweto experience.
