Bob Marley to be honoured in Durban concert

THE City of Durban is gearing up to host the Bob Marley One Love Peace Concert on 8 February 2020.

This concert honours the life of reggae icon, Bob Marley, who strived for peace and harmony amongst all people.

The festival has been held in the city since 2007, and has grown in popularity to such an extent that a bigger venue had to be sought for the concert.

Originally held at Ushaka Marine World, the concert will this year take place at North Beach Amphitheatre.

“The most important thing about this event is that it promotes social cohesion as it always brings together people of all races, colours and creed together to share the “One Love” that Bob Marley used to preach. It also promotes tourism as we have witnessed having visitors from around the African continent and internationally from Jamaica, Miami and the UK celebrating this day with us here in Durban,” said organizer, Bonginkosi Ngidi.

“The city is excited about hosting this concert once again. Not only does it promote peace, love and social cohesion within our communities, but it also gives us another opportunity to welcome visitors and showcase our city,” commented Mayor Cllr Mxolisi Kaunda.

Fans of reggae are in for an awesome time as artists include well known reggae musicians such as SAMA award winner, Black Dellinger, Nkulee Dube, and the Meditators amongst others. Approximately 4000-5000 people expected to attend.

Tickets are available at Computicket. Make sure you get yours before they sell out.
