The MTN Bushfire Festival is an event renowned for its vibrant celebration of music, arts and culture. This is an event that is globally infused, authentically and proudly Eswatini. MTN Bushfire is Africa’s largest multicultural gathering illuminating the transformational power of the arts and the call to action for positive social and environmental change.

Eswatini Sexual and Gender Minorities was recognized for its exceptional social impacts efforts, competing among various organizations dedicated to making a difference. ESGM emerged victorious winning the competition, as a reward we were granted a stall at the festival, providing a platform to showcase our initiatives, engage with a diverse audience and further our mission which is to advance the protection of human rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex persons in the kingdom of Eswatini.

The organization successfully initiated significant discussions and challenged stereotypes within the LGBTI community. ESGM team had the honor of participating in the LGBTI parade around the MTN Bushfire arena. This march was a celebration of the LGBTI community and served as a platform for promoting inclusivity and diversity. The march took place on the 1st of June 2024 which marks the commencing of pride month.
