Musician Ringo Madlingozi set the stage alight at the Cape Spring Xperience.

Thousands of people gathered at Kenilworth Racecourse in Cape Town over the weekend to see the singer perform, along with Sjava, DJ Zinhle, DJ Maphorisa, Big Zulu, Mlindo The Vocalist, Mo-T, Youngsta CPT, Jimmy Nevis, UPZ, Qaqamba, Ntshika and Chachi.

Ringo dazzled the crowd with songs like Sondela, Ngiyagodola and Baleka.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Richard Ramudzuli from Thiko Events said the Cape Spring Xperience was a success but not without challenges.

"With a capacity of 10,000, the overwhelming excitement and fomo led to thousands arriving without tickets, causing delays at the entrance. We sincerely apologise for this and other logistical issues," he said.

"DJ Maphorisa missed his flight and couldn't make it to Cape Town. Big Zulu arrived late due to delays and was unable to perform. Those were challenges we were faced with."
