Winter has arrived and vulnerable, homeless South Africans are feeling the cold.

On Sunday, Martin Bester and some of his friends like Loufi, Jemma Catherine, Matthew Gold, Janie Bay, and Coenie Naudé came together to assist those in need this cold winter with a special concert. 

For Warm Fest, audience members did not have to pay an entry fee but rather had to bring blankets for those in need. Mbombela residents showed up and Martin Bester and Friends were able to gather over 4,900 blankets.
