South African Amapiano sensation Zee Nxumalo is set to deliver an electrifying performance at the highly anticipated Nedbank Cup Final on Saturday, June 1st. This exciting event, taking place at Mbombela Stadium, will feature a thrilling football showdown between Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, with Nxumalo co-headlining the entertainment lineup alongside Shakes & Les. Zee Nxumalo had an exclusive interview with The Journalist DJ.
Fresh off a headline-grabbing performance at the Soweto Derby earlier this year, Nxumalo’s rise to stardom has been nothing short of meteoric. Her dynamic stage presence and vocal prowess have made her a standout performer in South Africa’s vibrant music scene. The Soweto Derby performance not only showcased her talent to a national audience but also solidified her reputation as a powerhouse entertainer.
Adding to her growing acclaim, Nxumalo’s latest hit single “Thula Mabota,” featuring Pabi Cooper, has taken the music world by storm. With over 5 million streams in just two months and a viral dance challenge on TikTok, the track has cemented her status as a cultural phenomenon. This whirlwind of success has set the stage for an unforgettable performance at the Nedbank Cup Final.
In an exclusive interview with The Journalist DJ, Nxumalo expressed her excitement about performing at such a significant event. “I’m so excited to showcase my growth since the last time I headlined a big sports occasion,” she said. “I’m a lot more confident on the big stage, I have a better understanding of crowd control, and I’ve got more music to showcase. We’ve got so many more exciting plans for the year that I can’t wait to share.”
Her manager, Shingai Darangwa, echoed her enthusiasm and highlighted her remarkable progress. “This is another huge landmark in a period of sustained growth for Zee. She keeps pushing us to create more opportunities for her to showcase her talents and keeps rising to the occasion each time. I’ve got no doubt that she will make the Mbombela Stadium shake on Saturday!”
Zee Nxumalo’s journey to the top has been years in the making, marked by dedication and an unwavering passion for music. With a debut album set to release later this year, featuring collaborations with prominent artists like Kabza De Small, TBO, 031Choppa, Shakes & Les, Mashudu, and Josiah De Disciple, Nxumalo is poised to cement her place among South Africa’s musical elite.
As the Nedbank Cup Final approaches, fans can look forward to an evening of electrifying performances and high-energy football action. With Zee Nxumalo on the stage, the event promises to be a spectacular celebration of sport and music.
