The party was spiced up by performances Q Malewezi who recited a very touching and brilliant piece, an artistic and exquisite dance by Tron and acoustic performances Lulu, Menes and Neil Nayar. Rapper Tay Grin, singer George Kalukusha and the Norwegian Ambassador to Malawi, Mr. Kikkan Haugen were also in attendance and among some of the notable faces at the event.
