Nomabotwe takes Hamba Ungemi on tour
After the success of her debut album Hamba Ungemi, released in November, South African singer-songwriter Nomabotwe is stepping into the spotlight with two live shows.
After nearly two decades as a backing vocalist for artists like Ringo Madlingozi, Arno Carstens and the late Stompie Mavi, the Gqeberha-born artist takes centre stage, bringing her powerful voice and heartfelt storytelling to Cape Town and East London, after a sold-out album launch last year.
Hamba Ungemi, meaning “don’t stop, keep going”, is a reflection of Nomabotwe’s journey, perseverance and artistic growth.
Catch her at the Homecoming Centre, at the Star Theatre, in Cape Town on 3 May, and at the East London Guild Theatre on 10 May.
Tickets are R250 at Quicket.
Mantsopa is back at The Market Theatre
Following its acclaimed reading at Joburg’s The Market Theatre in October, Mantsopa returns as a fully staged production from 30 April to 11 May.
Written and directed by Dr Jerry Mofokeng wa Makhetha, the play tells the story of the prophetess, seer and rainmaker Mantsopa, whose legacy is rooted in Basotho history. Born in 1793, she overcame famine and turmoil to become a revered adviser to King Moshoeshoe I, known for her spiritual gifts and fearless truth-telling.
This new production tells her story through her fictional great-granddaughter, Tholoana, a rising music star torn between her calling and the lure of fame. Guided by her ancestor’s spirit, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and ancestral connection.
Featuring Florence Masebe, Leomile, Tseko Monaheng and live musical accompaniment, it is a tribute to Basotho heritage.
Tickets are available via Webtickets.
