19 March 2025

The air at O.R. Tambo International Airport on March 19th was filled with the lively sounds of reggae as Jeneile Osborne, better known as Queen Omega from Trinidad and Tobago, arrived in South Africa for a highly anticipated performance on the 22nd of March at Catch A Fire Reggae Festival in Soweto. The Rastafari community, reggae lovers, and fans turned out in large numbers to welcome the acclaimed artist, packing the airport with a colorful ocean of red, gold, and green.

When Queen Omega emerged, she was flanked by her talented band, her manager had arrived in Johannesburg ahead of her. The electrifying mood was contagious, and interested passengers and airport staff alike were captivated by the festivities. Many were left to ponder the celebratory atmosphere and the celebrity who could warrant such a welcoming reception.

The Queen, unable to contain her emotions, cried, danced, and embraced her fellow bandmates as she stepped out, while the welcoming crowd erupted in cheers, whistles, ululations, and joyful shouts.

In a spontaneous gesture that was characteristic of her bond with the people, Queen Omega requested to have a Bhinghi ceremony with her welcoming party. The Community was invited to the Credo Mutwa Cultural Village, where there was a special Ises ceremony to mark the cultural significance of the event. The ceremony also sealed the bond of Queen Omega with the fans and Rastafari movement, making her a central artist in the reggae genre.
