MultiChoice Africa in partnership with One Africa Global Foundation is staging a special COVID-19 Hope For Africa concert aimed at raising funds to support health care workers who are at the front-line in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The funds raised from the show will be used as special interventions for accessible, functional medical equipment, COVID testing stations and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to minimize their exposure to the virus.
The concert will feature some of the biggest acts on the continent including Ykee Benda (Uganda), 2Baba (Nigeria), Akothee (Kenya), Davido (Nigeria), Eddie Jay (Senegal), Nandy (Tanzania), Sarkodie (Ghana), Stonebwoy (Ghana), Tekno (Nigeria), The Ben (Rwanda), and Tiwa Savage (Nigeria) among others.
There will also be goodwill messages of hope and encouragement by community leaders, health workers and COVID-19 survivors.
The 3-hour televised special will be hosted by Dakore Egbuson-Akande (Nigeria), Mawuli Gavor, (Ghana) Osas Ighodaro (Nigeria), and Wanjira Longauer (Kenya).
The show airs tonight on Africa Magic Family (DStv channel 154 and GOtv channel 302) at 9pm.
