Pictorial: Of Kwepena, Bouncing Castles and Captain Morgan at Qweshunga

The likelihood of meeting your strict boss in a bouncing castle or in the middle of a Kwepena round was very high last Saturday, as Ndere Cultural Centre morphed into an adult playground for the sixth edition of Qweshunga Day with Captain Morgan.

The playful rebellion welcomed everyone with Gogolo into the colourful playing field. Made from jerrycans and fastened with ropes, these were the perfect start to the experience, as everyone took turns sliding down the concrete slope.

Clearly, there was no room for comfort, let alone aura. Just as you got the hang of the slides, streams of water chased you across the grounds, and the next cue was to line up and secure the most efficient water gun to shoot whoever crossed your lane.

After running around, bouncing in the castles and jumping on trampolines, there were plenty of indoor games, including Otyo, chess, Matatu, Ludo and more, where guests could unwind with a Captain Morgan of their choice.

Speaking during the experience, Captain Morgan Brand Manager Raymond Karama and Qweshunga lead strategist Penelope Sanyu expressed their excitement during a Matatu round.

“Play and party is the Captain Morgan DNA, and Qweshunga has given us an opportunity to bring the spice to the play. We absolutely look forward to the next edition,” remarked Karama.

Penelope Sanyu from Qweshunga couldn’t agree more.

“With every edition of Qweshunga, our goal is to take everyone down memory lane with some of their favourite games, and that’s exactly what we did today. Enabling carefree fun that most adults didn’t know they needed,” she said.

As the night went on, the gaming experience transitioned into a Captain Morgan rave, with DJs City Girl, Matson, Anselm and Dre on the decks. A performance from Winnie Nwagi got the crowd into a frenzy and brought the day to an energetic close.

Here is what you missed, anyway.
