SLIME, STARS, NICKELODEON CHARACTERS & MORE SLIME AT USHAKA MARINE WORLD

FAMILY-FRIENDLY SHOWS TO BE HEADLINED BY CASSPER NYOVEST & MAFIKIZOLO

Nickelodeon and uShaka Marine World are to make a great big splash with the first ever African edition of SlimeFest.

A spectacular celebration of music, stars, Nickelodeon TV characters and – of course – lots and lots of SLIME, Nickelodeon’s SlimeFest brought to you by uShaka Marine World will see Africa’s number one marine theme park transformed into a green and orange paradise for an unforgettable weekend of epic entertainment and slimy silliness.

Hosted by Joey Rasdien and Nomzamo Mbatha, SlimeFest 2017 will see kids and families flocking to Durban to bask, battle and slither around in glorious green slime, while enjoying singalongs from beloved NickelodeonTV stars SpongeBob Square Pants, Dora & Friends, Chase & Marshall from Paw Patrol, and amphibious heroes, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Rounding off each day will be an out-of-this world concert featuring high-octane performances from stars such as Cassper Nyovest (8 April) and Mafikizolo (9 April), and many more.

Commented Alex Okosi, Senior Vice President & Managing Director, Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Africa, “SlimeFest is one of Nickelodeon’s most engaging event franchises around the world, and we are delighted to partner with uShaka Marine World to bring SlimeFest to African shores for the first time.  Combining Nickelodeon’s kids and family friendly ethos with our beloved TV characters, great music, star power and a host of slime-oriented activities, SlimeFest is sure to be a huge success.”
