Bring your passion to the Klein Karoo

For 30 years, Absa has proudly partnered with the Klein Karoo National Arts Festival (KKNK), celebrating the power of creativity, culture, and community in the heart of the Klein Karoo.

This year, we invite you to step into the Absa Kuierkamer, a vibrant space where art, conversation, and connection come to life.

Join us daily for the Koffietafel Conversations, hosted by Hannes van Wyk from 11:45 – 12:45. These engaging sessions bring together thought leaders, storytellers, and cultural voices shaping South Africa’s creative landscape.

Enjoy a curated line-up of live performances, including the soulful sounds of Joshua na die Reën, performing across four dates, and a special performance by Tino Singer on 3 April.

Festival-goers can also look forward to appearances by acclaimed artist and storyteller Nataniel, who will share insights from his latest book, alongside award-winning actress Anna-Mart van der Merwe.

As part of our commitment to shaping a sustainable future, Absa will host a series of Agri-talks exploring critical topics such as climate change and the future of agriculture creating a platform for dialogue, innovation, and progress.

Beyond the festival, our impact extends into the community. This year, Absa will unveil a new vegetable garden at Rooiheuwel Primary School, a meaningful initiative aimed at supporting local livelihoods and fostering long-term sustainability.

Marking 30 years of partnership, visitors can also experience a special curated art exhibition within the Kuierkamer, while enjoying great coffee, refreshments, and delicious treats throughout the day.
