Media personality and businesswoman Lerato Kganyago is gearing up for one of her husband’s biggest moments yet — the official launch of Ndlala Mall in Pretoria, owned by her husband Thami Ndlala. And to make it even more special, they are bringing international R&B superstar Tank to South Africa for an exclusive performance at the grand opening.
The newly renovated shopping and entertainment centre will open its doors with a massive two-day event on 2 and 3 August 2025, hosted at the Ndlala Arena inside the mall. The event will be a mix of music, lifestyle, fashion, and community celebration.
Lerato took to her Instagram Stories to share the exciting news, reposting a video message from Tank — whose real name is Durrell Babbs. In the clip, the Grammy-nominated singer said: “Africa… listen, I am pulling up on you. It’s going to be R&B, and it’s going to be crazy. I am coming, and I am excited. I can’t wait to see you.”
Tank will perform live at the 550-seat Ndlala Arena, which offers tiered seating from Bronze to Diamond. Ticket prices for the exclusive event start at R2 000.
In a press statement, the organisers said the launch event is about more than just music: “Whether you’re a long-time fan of Tank or simply looking for a fun-filled night, this grand launch promises unforgettable moments for everyone.”
Known for her glamorous image, strong work ethic, and love for luxury, Lerato Kganyago has always stayed on top of her game — from radio and television to the business world. This event shows she’s not just a media personality but also a power player in the lifestyle and entertainment industry.
Her husband Thami Ndlala’s mall is expected to be a top destination in Pretoria, and with Lerato’s star power helping to drive the opening, the Ndlala Mall launch is shaping up to be one of the biggest social events of the year.
Tank, known for classic hits like “I Deserve,” “When We,” and “Can’t Let It Show,” is also famous for working with some of the biggest names in music, including Beyoncé, Aaliyah, Chris Brown, and Alicia Keys.
With Lerato Kganyago at the forefront of this star-studded launch, Pretoria is about to experience a weekend filled with glamour, soul, and unforgettable R&B.
