Africa’s biggest DJ Black Coffee has been hitting the decks every Saturday night at home with the Home Brewed live streaming party.
The weekly party is also a fundraiser for the South African Solidarity Fund and partygoers are asked to donate what they would ordinarily be paying to see the DJ live to his Go Fund Me Covid-19 relief page.
Join the party every Saturday live on Facebook from 21:00.
