Kasi Republic brings kwaito, kasi cars and iSpantsula style to Riversands Farm Village this Reconciliation Day
You heard the bass before you saw the taxi. By the time the HiAce came round the corner, the whole street was singing. Kasi Republic is bringing that feeling back for one afternoon only.
On Wednesday, 16 December 2026, iYouth Endala will gather at Riversands Farm Village in Midrand for a Reconciliation Day celebration of the music, the cars and the style that made growing up ekasi unforgettable.

Kasi Republic -The Soundtrack of Your Youth, Live
Alaska, Mzambiya, Msawawa and Zola will perform the songs you know by heart, in the voices you grew up with. These are the artists you watched on TV on a Saturday before rushing outside to copy the moves with your friends. You won’t be the only one who still knows every step, so get the crew together and start practising.
Kasi Car Culture, Frost and Centre
Stance cars and souped-up Zola Budd taxis will line the grounds. Expect grown-ups hanging out of the windows of parked HiAces, singing the chorus at the top of their lungs. Everyone will know it.
Dress Code – iSpantsula
Get out the bucket hat, the sharply creased trousers and the All Stars you’ve kept spotless. Dress the way you did for a Saturday afternoon ekasi, because everyone else will be.
Made For the Ones Who Made It
Kasi Republic is for the discerning millennial with deep kasi roots: people who have worked hard, built careers and businesses, and never lost touch with where they started. It’s a day for grown-up taste with old-school soul. Bring the friends who knew you long before the job title.
The group chat finally has a date. The work shoes stay at home. Nobody needs it explained why that song still matters. You’ve done the growing up, and the moves are still in there. This is the afternoon to prove it.
What to Expect
- The Vibe: A dedicated tribute to iYouth Endala—the millennial generation who grew up in the 90s and 2000s, balancing modern careers while staying deeply connected to their roots.
- Music & Culture: An unapologetic celebration of classic kwaito, kasi car culture, throwback hits, and the iconic iSpantsula style.
- Nostalgia: The experience channels the energy of early street culture and neighborhood house parties.
