About Chaf Pozi
Chaf Pozi is Soweto's most celebrated nightlife destination, a sprawling open-air complex built on the roof of a multi-storey car park that offers extraordinary views of the Soweto skyline and hosts some of Johannesburg's most culturally significant music events. The venue's programming centres on amapiano, kwaito, Afrobeats and South African house — the genres that define the country's contemporary music identity — and its events draw both township locals and visitors from across Johannesburg and the world. Chaf Pozi is the best single venue for understanding what makes Jozi nightlife unique.
History
Chaf Pozi evolved from an informal shebeen tradition into a structured event venue in 2009, gaining international attention as amapiano emerged as a global music genre. Visitors including international artists and journalists have made the pilgrimage to Soweto specifically to experience what Chaf Pozi represents.
