South African actress and activist Nomzamo Mbatha is set to take the stage at this year’s Global Citizen Festival, an event renowned for its powerful blend of music and activism. On September 28, the festival will return to Central Park’s Great Lawn in New York City, with Mbatha joining an impressive lineup of speakers and performers committed to driving global change.
Nomzamo Mbatha, celebrated for her humanitarian efforts and commitment to social justice, will be sharing the stage with notable figures including Antoni Porowski, Bill Nye, Danai Gurira, Charlamagne Tha God, and many others. The event, hosted by Global Citizen ambassador Hugh Jackman, along with Dr. Jane Goodall and Coldplay’s Chris Martin, promises to be a powerful gathering of voices dedicated to making a difference.
The festival’s star-studded musical lineup features headliners like Post Malone, Doja Cat, and Lisa, alongside newly added performers Benson Boone and Raye. But beyond the music, the festival’s core mission remains its drive to tackle some of the world’s most pressing issues. According to TshisaLIVE, Michael Sheldrick, Global Citizen’s co-founder explains that this year’s event will focus on sustainable energy and the protection of indigenous lands, alongside its ongoing fight against extreme poverty.
“Global Citizen Festival has always been about using the power of music and activism to drive real, tangible change. This year we’re taking bold steps to protect our planet, from powering our stage with clean energy to advocating for indigenous-led projects that preserve the Amazon,” Sheldrick explained.
As Mbatha prepares to address a global audience, her participation underscores her dedication to these causes. The actress, known for her advocacy for education and women’s rights, continues to use her platform to inspire action and foster positive change.
