Following its successful relaunch as a recalibrated programme in 2025, the Mangaung African Cultural Festival (MACUFE), will again be staged from 03 to 13 September 2026.

Revellers and patrons of MACUFE are thus implored to save the dates: 03 to 13 September for yet another scintillating and entertaining cultural programme through which our cultural heritage is elevated on the highest pedestal.

The Department commits itself to keep on making access to various platforms of the festival affordable so as to enable a wider appreciation of our cultural heritage as the primary focus of MACUFE.
“Undoubtedly, the staging of MACUFE in 2026 will escalate the upward trajectory that the festival took with its relaunch in 2025. The benefits derived from this festival should always be at the forefront of its objectives: local economic benefaction; local artists participation; tourism promotion as well as social cohesion and nation building enhancement”, said MEC for Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, Ntombizanele Sifuba.
