In a bid to create awareness and keep the arts alive, DJ Shimza launched the Quarantine Online Party with some of Mzansi’s hottest DJs. With social distancing in high effect across Mzansi, the live sets which were broadcast on Facebook from 18:00 on Saturday.
DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small, DJ Zinhle, Black Motion, DJ PH and Shimza bought groove to the homes of fans. As much as the Quarantine Online Party was a success and bought happiness to many, Sho Madjozi couldn’t help but point out that the DJs and their friends were all touching the same equipment and grooving in one house.
The award-winning musician pointed out that social distancing means, staying two meters away from each other where possible, not going to restaurants or bars and parties and not greeting with handshakes, hugs or kisses.
