South African record producer, DJ and songwriter Sketchy Bongo will have the crowd on their feet when he performs live at the PUMA School of Speed #3 at the PUK McArthur Athletics Stadium (Potchefstroom) on Monday 27 January 2020.
“It’s a huge honor to perform for the future great athletes of our Country,” says Bongo. “I can’t wait to bring fresh music to the crowd and get everyone ‘turnt up’. I have a super energetic, mega mix of music that I’ll be performing, from my songs, to big hits from others. I’ll definitely be playing ‘Let You Know’, ‘Love Me In The Dark’ and ‘Cold Shoulder’.”
When asked about his plans for 2020, Bongo had the following to say: “It will include the dropping of a whole lot of new singles and videos, as well as loads of shows around the country.”

It’s something for young athletes to set goals for and work hard towards. The atmosphere at the PUMA School of Speed is what makes it so special. It’s fun, exciting, and inspiring. It’s events like this that keep athletics alive! I’m proud to be working alongside PUMA to help grow athletics in South Africa.”
