It's a well-known fact that Namibian celebrities love to party and in style too. This past weekend had three major birthday bashes as musicians The Dogg, Oteya and choreographer Stanley Mareka choose to celebrate their birthdays with their fans. The beauty of all the birthday bashes was the other local heavy weights come out in support and celebration. Queen Oteya hosted a birthday count down at the Warehouse Theatre and had Lady May, Gazza, Dillish Mathews and Maria Nepembe, just to mention a few sing along to the birthday song.

The German based choreographer Mareka flew in just to turn 30 in a crowd, on the Namibian soil at wthe Zoo Park Amphitheatre with a crazy line up of musicians and dancers. Stanley's birthday party saw an indication of arts appreciation as all those that performed that night did it for free. The crème de la crème of Namibian rap and RnB Berthold, Jericho and Dixon where amongst the performers that brought the roof down alongside new kid on the block Ona. To add a cherry on top, Ndawana composed and dedicated a song especially for him.

The Mshasho army took its party to the coastal town of Swakop at Infinity Lounge. The Dogg described the party as lit and packed to capacity. Artist Sunny Boy graced the crowd with his hit tunes. This weekend, the Mshasho entourage will take the party to the northern towns of Ongwediva Club Level on Friday and Small Park on Saturday. N$50 is the entrance fee.
