“I’m excited to be producing my first livestream music event, especially from Sun City, in the province where I was born. This is an important month for women to be inspired to realise their dreams and this livestream intends to do just that along with some of the country’s and Africa’s greatest female artists in their music fields,” says Matheba.

Nubian Music Festival founder Mpho Mathope adds: “It is an honour to be able to livestream this celebration of South African women and especially the amazing artists who present our music heritage to the world. We’re also excited that we can bring the Nubian goal of promoting social togetherness and cultural tolerance to an even larger audience in the age of Covid-19.”

If fans can’t make the livestream itself (from 3pm on August 29), tickets can also be purchased for on-demand streaming of either the entire show or chosen artists for 48 hours after the live show ends.
