A Sun-Soaked Celebration of Music, Family and the era of the AI Phone at Galaxy KDay

Hi Guys,

As the coolness of autumn settles over the Cape Winelands, Samsung and Primedia will be giving Capetonians a day where music, family and innovation dance in perfect sync. Set against the scenic backdrop of Sandringham Farm, the 2026 Galaxy KDay promises a vibrant, unforgettable open-air festival experience on Saturday, 28 March.

Late March in Stellenbosch brings with it a kind of weather that feels curated for joy - warm sunshine, crisp blue skies and just enough of an autumn breeze to keep the energy flowing. It’s the kind of day that begs for picnic blankets, shared laughter and soundtracks that carry long after sunset.

Galaxy KDay is a family-friendly festival, blending world-class entertainment with immersive tech experiences. From kids darting between activity zones to adults soaking in live performances, the event offers something for every generation.

The Galaxy KDay stage will be the centrepiece of a rich mix of South African stars and rising voices that hit every note. From soulful storytelling to high-energy dance sets, the line-up is a great rhyme to Mzansi’s music culture.

With just days to go, anticipation is nearing its peak, with festival outfits and essentials being assembled in the Mother City. The countdown to Galaxy KDay is officially on, and Stellenbosch is ready to play host to a memorable gathering.

Beyond the music and festivities, Galaxy KDay offers a glimpse into what’s next. Festivalgoers will have the opportunity to experience the new Samsung Galaxy S26 series and explore how the new era of the AI phone is designed to simplify, enhance, and elevate everyday life.

As the sun sets at the picturesque Stellenbosch, and the final notes echo across Sandringham Farm, Galaxy KDay will leave behind more than just great photos - it will be a collection of shared experiences and beautiful stories.

Hi Friends,

A year since unleashing exciting robotic innovations from UBTECH Robotics in South Africa for the first time, Gammatek, a leading distributor of technologies, presents an extended range of Jimu robots for young engineers to bring to life. In the cast of Jimu Robots – the interactive robotic building block systems that let kids easily build, programme and share their robot creations – are Astrobot, Tankbot, Jimu Explorer and the Jimu Mini Kit.

“The response to UBTECH’s robotic innovations has been overwhelming and we are excited to introduce an extended range of Jimu robots to inspire the imaginations of aspiring young engineers. These interactive robot building kits go beyond pure play and also challenge our perception of educational toys. While stimulating creativity and imagination, UBTECH robotic building kits encourage critical thinking, problem solving, three dimensional engineering and collaboration,” says Gammatek’s Zev Cherniak.

Jimu Robot Kits utilize unique snap together, interlocking parts and connectors which allow youngsters to build their own robots. Smooth motion robotic servo motors allow the robot to reproduce movements programmed via the Jimu app, available on iOS and Android.

In the Astrobot kit, there is everything you need to build three, amazing robots or build your very own Jimu Robot creation. Learn hands-on engineering by programming Astrobot to navigate obstacles, pick-up objects, control light and sound effects, show emotions, and more using Blockly code. Astrobot is programmed by creating entirely new, custom actions with the PRP (Pose, Record, Play) function. Five robotic servo motors deliver life like movements. The kit includes 371 snap-together parts, 1 infrared sensor, 1 speaker, 2 LEDs, and 5 smooth motion robotic servo motors. Power adapter and quick start guide are also included.
