HARARE – Just when you thought Harare’s social season couldn’t get any hotter, The Sunday Service is turning the coldest day on the calendar into the city’s most sizzling ticket.
After a record-breaking launch that had tastemakers still talking, Zimbabwe’s undisputed luxury lifestyle ritual has officially unveiled its second coming. Mark your planners for Sunday, 7 June 2026. The venue? The breathtaking Art Farm. The vibe? Pure magic, wrapped in wool and gold hour light.
This is not your average picnic. Billed as a sanctuary for “young hearts with old souls,” the event promises to defy the chill with a warm, premium haven of love-themed art spaces, curated fashion, and the kind of communal energy that feels like a hug. Bring the whole family—midday kicks off with a sip & paint session on the lawns.
But let’s talk about the music. The curators have outdone themselves, stitching together a multi-generational tapestry of pure soul food.
Headlining the affair is South African Afro-soul queen Amanda Black. Fresh off captivating the continent with that earth-quaking alto, she’s set to turn The Art Farm into a cathedral of emotion. And she won’t walk that stage alone.
In a moment of true homegrown royalty, Zimbabwe’s own Tanga WekwaSando will bring his timeless township jazz and groove—a masterclass for the young guns and sweet nostalgia for the connoisseurs.
Add to that the fingerstyle wizardry of guitarist Sylent Nqo, the hypnotic presence of Tina Watyoka, plus the seamless sonic architecture of DJ Andile and The Royal DJs, and you’ve got a lineup that doesn’t just play music—it preaches.
And what will the beautiful people be wearing? The brief has landed: All Shades of Chocolate. Think high-fashion picnic-chic. Think earth tones, sun-kissed elegance, cozy cashmeres, and leather that warms the soul. No beige half-measures—this is a runway in the wild.
“The Sunday Service is a lifestyle ritual, not just a date night,” the organizing team told us. “For Winter Solstice, we’re leaning deep into rich, cozy, premium aesthetics. Where else in Harare can you see Tanga Wekwa Sando and Amanda Black on the same grass, on the same day? It’s art.”
Exclusivity comes at a price—and early birds have already flown. Tickets are strictly tiered, with GA Phase 2 going for $20 ($30 at the gate). The VIP Experience, where the champagne flutes catch the winter sunset, is $50 in Phase 2 (rising to $100 at the gate).
Cooler boxes are welcome (a $5 fee applies, and they must be in before 4:00 PM). And don’t sleep on those online sales—head to www.sahwigate.com before they vanish.
With heavy backing from SEAL (Sahwira Events & Lifestyle), Jacaranda Culture and Media Corporation, Divine Concert Sound, iHelp Technology, Suburban Security, and Lotus & Co., this isn’t just a party. It’s a statement.
