Ngizwe Mchunu confirms Bhinca Festival is on despite cancellation claims and EFF clash

Media personality Ngizwe Mchunu has officially confirmed that the Bhinca Heritage and Maskandi Festival will proceed as planned, dismissing rumors of its cancellation and addressing the rising tensions surrounding his clash with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

The festival is for the Bhinca Nation and will be attended by South Africans who value our heritage, regardless of the political noise being made by those who prioritize foreign interests.

Mchunu’s announcement comes amidst a backdrop of heated exchanges between his supporters and the EFF, particularly in the Inanda area where both parties have scheduled competing events. The controversy has intensified as both sides trade accusations regarding the legitimacy of their respective event permits and the underlying motives for their gatherings.

Despite the EFF’s vocal opposition and claims that the festival would be shut down, Mchunu remains defiant, insisting that the event is a celebration of culture that will not be intimidated by political posturing.
