The Omuthiya Business Expo 2026 is currently underway at the new Open Market Centre in Omuthiya, Namibia. The event, hosted under the theme 'Locals by Design Crafting Competitive SMEs for Tomorrow', aims to showcase local products, small and medium-sized enterprises, young entrepreneurs, and regional producers. The town council's objective is to promote local businesses and raise funds for the completion of the Omuthiya Open Market.

The two-day event features a star-studded lineup of musicians, including Adora, Tate Buti, TopCheri, Patrick Sikiliza, Bullet yaKaoko, Kaboy Kamakili, and King Tee Dee. On Friday night, TopCheri will headline the show, alongside Kaboy Kamakili, DJ Vuyo, Onghelo yam'Kwamani, and TreckFo. TopCheri, whose real name is Monica Pineas, has grown into a household name after winning the Best Star Artist, Southern Africa 2026 award in Rwanda in March.

TopCheri has promised an electric performance on Friday, while also announcing a surprise act. She says her northern fans can expect fireworks and that she is excited to be performing in Omuthiya after a while. Her performance will feature her recent hits, including 'Body Fire', 'Angelina', and 'Running'. Born and raised at Oshigambo village in the Ohangwena region, TopCheri's music has gained popularity in northern Namibia.

Kaboy Kamakili is another big name performing at the event. He has released popular songs like 'Day and Night', which have warmed up northern fans. He will be performing alongside other artists on Saturday. The Saturday show promises to be just as exciting, with King Tee Dee, also known as The Dogg, as the main attraction. King Tee Dee remains one of Namibia's most successful artists.

Other performers, including Tate Buti, Adora, Patrick Sikiliza, and Bullet yaKaoko, have the potential to steal the show from King Tee Dee. The event aims to promote local businesses and raise funds for the completion of the Omuthiya Open Market.
