South Africa: Zakes Makes History!

25 October 2023

In a dazzling double delight, Zakes Bantwini brings the beats, making history as the first African artist to headline the DHL Stadium when the Rugby World Cup final will see the Springboks take on New Zealand.

The rugby boys did us proud, with Handre Pollard's penalty securing a nail-biting 16-15 victory against England.

Zakes took to social media, bursting with pride for our rugby heroes and spilling the beans about the country's biggest fan park and World Cup final screening at DHL Stadium.

"It's gonna be epic!" he promised.

Zakes is setting up shop in Cape Town, with plans to keep the concert vibes flowing for the next three years.

"And you won't believe the line-up we've got in store!" he teased.

Fans are going wild on Instagram, with one user cheering, "This is genius!"

Another fan said: "Cape Town won't know what hit 'em!"

One of the members in the crowd has already snagged her ticket.

"Count me in!" she shouted.
