wing to the growing number of whisky drinkers in Gauteng, the FNB Whisky Live Festival organisers announced that an exciting new venue will be added to the Gauteng segment of the festival the iconic township, Soweto. Soweto has long had a strong historical association with whisky – “a drink reserved for the wealthy”. From the jiving 1950s, the era of Miriam Makeba and Hugh Masekela which sent blues and jazz down the streets of Sophiatown, to the current optimism of young trendsetters in the aspiring middle-class, who can be found enjoying whisky at their favourite “chill out” spots on the weekend. The inaugural Whisky Live Festival in Soweto took place at the University of Johannesburg Soweto Campus.
