American rapper, Jayceon Taylor’s concert to be held in Swaziland this month is expected to boost the tourism and hospitality industries.

One of the event organisers, Mthunzi Zwane, said the concert would be advertised all over Africa and they were expecting more tourists during the concert to be held at the Mavuso Exhibition and Trade Centre.

“The concert will be a major boost to the hotel and catering industry. We expect more people from outside the country to come to Swaziland during this event,” he said. Zwane said the rapper, popularly known as The Game, was one of the best selling artists in the world and more people would like to see him perform.

The Game was born in November 27, 1979 in Compton, also home of hip-hop legends Ice Cube and Dr Dre. As part of the Lax World Tour, The Game will be coming to Swaziland for a one-city performance at Mavuso Exhibition and Trade Centre in Manzini. The show is scheduled for July 19, 2009 starting from 10 a.m till late.

Proceeds from this show will cover costs with extra money donated to different charity organisations around the country. Zwane said the idea behind this show was to attract the people from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region to Swaziland.
