We're backing Blue Ribbon Soweto Kota Festival

If there’s one thing that brings South Africans together, it’s food that tells our story. That’s why we’re proud to be the official banking sponsor of the 8th Annual Blue Ribbon Soweto Kota Festival, taking place on 6 and 7 September 2025 at the Dobsonville Rugby Grounds.

But this is more than just a weekend of delicious kotas and vibrant entertainment. It’s about backing small businesses and helping kasi entrepreneurs grow.

A taste of township culture

With over 75 kota vendors, the festival celebrates township flavour, culture and creativity. From the classic polony-and-cheese to gourmet street food twists, it’s a true showcase of local talent. Add live music, family zones and cultural stalls, and you have an experience rooted in community pride.

Why we’re here

We’re committed to simplifying banking and helping South Africans live better.

That’s why we’re sponsoring this year’s Blue Ribbon Soweto Kota Festival – to support the township economy.
