All roads are leading to Bloemfontein's Cufa festival.

The City of Roses is preparing for a celebration of African culture, talent and creativity with the inaugural Cultural Urban Festival Africa (Cufa). The festival is taking place from October 3 to 13. Mangaung will host the largest cultural event on the continent, bringing together music, sport, art and comedy in the 10-day festival.

With a line-up that features top artists, sports icons and influential women, Cufa promises to be an unforgettable experience for all attendees. Zonke, Lira, Maleh, DJ Zinhle and Scorpion Kings will headline the event.

Ben Moseme from Cufa said the event will feature  local and international stars, including Prince Kaybee, Oscar Mbo, Vusi Nova, Zonke, Alayen and Semito.

“The Cufa Cup will bring together two of Africa’s biggest soccer giants in a thrilling showdown broadcast live. The landmark event is on track to become Africa’s premier festival, uniting music, sport, comedy and culture in a 10-day experience,” he said.

Keynote speakers include Free State premier Maqueen Letsoha-Mathae, Prof Mamokhethi Phakeng, MEC Zanele Sifuba and Connie Ferguson.

Moseme said: “A vibrant five-day event will feature arts, crafts, local food, traditional Basotho culture expos, indigenous games and a dedicated kiddies' village. Influential women from across South Africa will lead discussions and networking opportunities. Cufa comedy will be led by Tumi Morake and David Kau”.
