‘The City is excited to be working with Zakes Bantwini and his team to bring a unique and inclusive event to the people of Cape Town, while also having a global appeal to all music fans,’ said Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis. ‘It is inspiring to see the opportunities this creates for artists to develop and expand their fan base.

The carefully curated line-up promises a unique flavour to the concert, bringing together different artists from various genres to collaborate and appeal to a broader audience.
‘To ensure the safety of pedestrians and concert-goers, a few roads surrounding DHL Stadium will be closed. The City would like to urge motorists to plan their routes accordingly or to avoid affected areas that will be closed off or congested on event day. There will also be ample parking available for those who choose to drive. We look forward to welcoming everyone to this historic event and encourage everyone to have a safe and enjoyable time,’ said the Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security JP Smith.
