Durban, South Africa — As Gagasi FM gears up for the 12th Annual Gagasi FM Beach Festival 2025, memories of unforgettable moments continue to echo across KZN’s vibrant music scene. One of the most legendary memories remains Riky Rick’s electrifying performance, where he boldly stripped down to his underwear on stage— a spontaneous act that became one of the most talked-about highlights in the festival’s history.
The late Rikhado “Riky Rick” Makhado, affectionately known as Boss Zonke, was not just a performer; he was a visionary, a trendsetter, and a cultural force whose energy transcended the stage. His daring presence at the Gagasi FM Beach Festival was more than a moment of entertainment — it was a statement of confidence, authenticity, and freedom. That day, his charisma lit up Durban’s coastline, reminding every young dreamer that music and self-expression have no limits.
In a video shared on Twitter, Riky could be seen taking off his pants before he gave a lit performance:
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you, Thank you @gagasifm” Riky captioned the video.
Riky’s ability to command the crowd, his fearless creativity, and his larger-than-life personality remain deeply embedded in Gagasi FM’s story. His performance has since become a defining chapter in the festival’s legacy — one that perfectly captures the spirit of The Sound of KZN.
As we prepare for #GagasiFMBeachFest2025, we honour Riky Rick’s contribution to South African music and culture. His influence continues to inspire new artists, fans, and creatives to live boldly, love deeply, and express themselves unapologetically.
This year’s festival promises to build on that same energy — uniting thousands of music lovers at People’s Park, Durban, on Saturday, 06 December 2025, for an unforgettable summer celebration. With some of the biggest names in local and international music set to perform, the 12th edition will once again showcase the unmatched power of music, unity, and the vibrant spirit of KZN.
Riky Rick’s legacy reminds us why Gagasi FM Beach Festival is more than an event — it’s a movement, a feeling, and a celebration of life through music.
