Adding a heartfelt touch to the event, the celebrated rapper Okmalumkoolkat will honour the memory of the late Riky Rick with a special tribute that promises to be a highlight of this extraordinary celebration.
The Amalobolo hitmaker is amongst the star-studded lineup of artists that will grace the event that is taking place on 21-22 September 2024 at Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit. Riky Rick’s untimely departure created a profound silence in the South African music scene, a void felt deeply across the industry.

As a leading light in the South African music scene and a cherished friend of Riky Rick, Okmalumkoolkat is devoted to preserving his friend’s legacy. Fueled by a deep sense of purpose, Okmalumkoolkat is crafting a tribute that not only celebrates their bond but also honours the profound influence Riky Rick left on the music world.
“21st of September 2024, we’re celebrating 30 years of Freedom with DSTV Delicious Fest, kuzoba mnandi. I’m gonna be doing something that I’ve never actually done before I’ve got a tribute show for uBoss Zonke, Riky Rick, so y’all it’s gonna be Boyz N Buckz set, it’s gonna be wild,” said Okmalumkoolkat.
Okmalumkoolkat will share the stage with other South African rappers, including Sjava, Cassper Nyovest and Khuli Chana. Khuli Chana also announced that he will perform a tribute for AKA who tragically passed away last year in Durban.
The weekend will be graced by the legendary Janet Jackson as she headlines the stage on Saturday, bringing her iconic performances and timeless hits. On Sunday, the stage will be illuminated by the soulful presence of Jill Scott, who will captivate the audience with her powerful voice and emotional depth.
