Cape Town audiences are in for two unforgettable evenings as Mandisi Dyantyis performs at The Homecoming Centre’s Star Theatre on 14 and 15 November. 

The shows form part of his national tour celebrating Intlambululo: Ukuhlambulula, his third studio album — a deeply spiritual project exploring music as purification, healing and renewal.

Known for his powerful live performances and soulful blend of jazz, gospel and Xhosa traditional sounds, Dyantyis will take listeners on an intimate journey through new compositions that balance reflection with joy. Backed by his seven-piece band, the concerts promise a moving exploration of sound, story and spirit from one of South Africa’s most acclaimed artists. 

Intlambululo: Ukuhlambulula is both a continuation of Dyantyis’s celebrated artistry and a new chapter in his ongoing dialogue with music, emotion and humanity. Tickets range from R325 to R500 and are available via Webtickets.
