HiFi Electronics has supported the Mafunyeta Memorial Show, set to honor the legacy of the late dancehall artist, with technical equipment.
The event, scheduled for Sunday, August 18, at the National War Memorial Tower in Lilongwe, will benefit from HiFi’s provision of advanced technical equipment, including sound, stage, and lighting gear, ensuring a top-tier production.
Director of Events at HiFi, Blessed Adams, said the contribution is to enhance the feel of the event, which is also a platform for mental health awareness.
“We are honored to support the Mafunyeta Memorial Show. We want to ensure that the event resonates powerfully with attendees and fosters a deeper understanding and dialogue around mental health issues,” he said.
Chairperson of the organizing team, Yanja Chigamba, commended HiFi for the support.
“Now in its seventh year, the event, themed “Let’s Talk About,” will focus on raising awareness about mental health, with a lineup that includes performances from Malinga Mafia, Kellie Devine, Jay Jay C, and Lulu,” he said.
Mafunyeta, whose real name was Patrick Magalasi, died on August 13, 2013, due to asthma.
He is still remembered for tracks like “Ndimakondwa,” “Kangobwera,” and “Mkazi wati Chani.”
