Our Renaissance page
Without tradition and culture, a people's identity is weak and almost insignificant. History thrives on the strength of a people's originality. The aura and splendour of our identity as Ndi Igbo are rooted in the superior nature of our socio-culture, hence the need to always celebrate who we are and, in essence, educate the world on why we remain one of the most progressive and potent of all human races.
Igbo Fest celebrates you. You, the original child of the earth, for there are reasons why you stand head and shoulders with the best.
Festival highlights
1. Participating performances include the Ohafia war dance, ISIOGU fun, etc.
2. Exhibitions of crafts, indigenous fashion, etc.
3. Launching of ONSA-nominated Igbo literature.
4. LIVE Band.
Gala night on October 3.
You are invited to join us for two days of captivating celebration of our originalities as Ndi Igbo, a call for a sociocultural re-engineering of our status as a genuinely original African tribe and one of the elite tribal brands in South Africa.
Rags to Riches Initiative
The Rags to Riches initiative represents the cultural benefit of hard work and creativity.
The most popular Ndi Igbo staple undergoes various processes to provide a stand-alone/unique taste and nourishment. These meals with exceptional nutritional quality attest to the cultural price paid by sidestepping the traditional cornerstone of Ndi Igbo staples. Aside from the spiritual disconnect from authority through the gaze of the Western industrial food system. The Rags-to-Riches competition showcases our cultural identity and sovereignty, where informally trained chefs strictly use natural and indigenous ingredients without external aids. The adjudged best cuisine wins a life-changing prize.
Igbo house initiative
IGBO HOUSE, South Africa – embodies the dream and aspiration of Ndi-Igbo's cultural renewal and promotion.

Tribute to our forbears
Chief Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's many books that includes novels, short stories and non-fiction gave her global recognition as one of the most influential voices in the world, particularly in the African continent. Her second novel HALF OF THE YELLOW SUN was a BEST SELLER that gained her international acclaim as an author and feminist activist. We salute this powerful daughter of our land whose confessed love and admiration of Ndi-Igbo is well documented.
