Swangz Avenue has officially postponed the much-anticipated Roast And Rhyme Reggae Ragga Nyama Nyam edition, which was set to take place today, Sunday, February 23, 2024, at Jahazi Pier in Munyonyo. This unexpected decision was made due to what the organizers described as “unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.”

“This decision was not made lightly. Despite our extensive preparations, last-minute challenges with the venue and concerns for the safety and overall experience of our valued guests have made it necessary to reschedule.”
