Thandiswa Mazwai brings her 50th birthday tour to Durban
South African music royalty, cultural icon, and all-round sonic storyteller Thandiswa Mazwai is pulling up to Durban for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
It’s her 50th Birthday Tour and it’s landing at the iconic The Playhouse Company on 20 March.
This isn’t just another concert. This is a full-circle celebration moment.

Now, she’s inviting Durban to be part of her story.
Expect a night that moves between nostalgia (the songs you grew up on), evolution (the sounds that shaped a nation) and pure magic (because… it’s Thandiswa).
From Sankofa to the stage
After shutting down Johannesburg with a sold-out Sankofa Festival at Carnival City, Thandiswa is bringing that same fire to the coast.
In her own words, the journey feels surreal
