Heineken House is becoming one of the central venues at Luxurious Marble Circus, which reopens its doors for the weekend, offering visitors music, cultural events, unexpected moments, perfectly poured Heineken beer, and a range of surprises.
This venue goes beyond being just a place to enjoy quality beer between performances. Heineken House is designed so that the experience changes throughout the day: from relaxed daytime moments to a lively evening atmosphere accompanied by a carefully curated entertainment program. As a result, the space feels different depending on the time of arrival, as unexpected performances and moments enrich the experience throughout the weekend.
On Saturday, the event kicks off at noon with a roaming brass band setting an energetic tone. This is followed by performances from Earful Soul and Thuly Thulz with a relaxing afternoon rhythm. Then Lemon & Herb and Karyendasoul increase the tempo, while Mila Rose B2B Roz keeps the mood going until sunset. As evening arrives, Da Capo B2B Darque and Mörda take the stage, and Thakzin maintains the momentum before the closing set by Black Motion.
Warrick Wyngaard, Marketing Communications Manager at Heineken South Africa, noted: "Heineken House is created to be a space where people want to spend time. By combining music, design, and social excellence, we have created an experience that changes throughout the day—from noon to evening and late night, so it never feels like the same room twice."
Sunday features a softer and more soulful musical atmosphere. The day opens with Bilal, followed by Spoken Priestess, and then Kenzhero presents a live five-piece band. Internet Athi and Thatohatsi add live performance moments throughout the day, while Courtné Paul and Soulkid lead the House into sunset. Following this, Akio performs with a set led by Strictly Soul, concluding with Heineken House and the Venom and PH festival.
Music is only part of the overall experience. Throughout the weekend, guests can expect unforeseen moments between sets, including live violinists and roaming magicians, as well as sudden appearances by brass bands, which add an extra layer of energy and surprise to the venue.
Furthermore, another final surprise is anticipated. Heineken will present a special collectible item available exclusively at Heineken House at Luxurious Marble Circus. Guests will need to visit the House to obtain this collectible item and take home a piece of the weekend. The exact nature of the item remains a secret.
Wyngaard added that "Luxurious Marble Circus allows us to go beyond standard hospitality. We want people to truly interact with the space and the music, not just pass through it. If someone leaves talking about a moment they didn't expect, that is our goal."
Whether you are discovering a new artist, meeting friends you didn't expect to see, or stumbling upon one of the weekend's spontaneous performances, Heineken House is designed to provide guests with an exceptional brewing experience and give them another reason to return or stay longer.
Bafana Bafana defender Nkosinathi Sibisi will be unable to participate in the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Guinea, which is scheduled for Saturday at Orlando Stadium after sustaining an injury during training.
Bafana Bafana head coach Pitso Mosimane confirmed that defender Nkosinathi Sibisi has been excluded from the squad for the 2027 qualifier against Guinea, which will take place at Orlando Stadium. Sibisi was initially included in the thirty-man squad that Mosimane named for his first match back as coach.
Mosimane, who emphasized during a press conference that he plans to rely on the foundation laid by his predecessor Hugo Brues, expected Sibisi to play in defense against the Guinean national team. However, Sibisi's injury weakens Bafana's central defensive line. The team has already lost key players from the World Cup campaign, including Mbekezeli Mbokazi, who also withdrew from the camp due to injury.
Nevertheless, the remaining central defender, Impe Okon, will not be isolated. Mosimane remains confident in the sufficient depth of the team's defense, pointing to promising youth talent, among whom Olwetu Mahanya stands out, demonstrating good form for Rangers.
Mosimane commented on Sibisi's condition, stating: 'He hasn't trained for the last two days. He got injured in training. The doctor says he will miss this match. Injuries are part of professional sport. That's why we recruit many players. You never know what will happen.'
Sibisi is the second Bafana player to be ruled out due to injury since the group camp, following the ankle injury of Lebohanga Maboe, sustained during the first training session. Maboe was replaced by Tshepanga Moremi. It is important for Bafana to demonstrate solid defensive play so as not to start Mosimane's second term with a setback at Orlando Stadium, where strong fan support is expected during the long weekend match.
