Global Citizen said: “As social activists and advocates of goodwill through their respective philanthropic work, Ms. Matheba and Ms. Mbatha’s involvement in Global Citizen Live is a wonderful progression of our partnerships established since our Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 and our recent Vax Live campaigns.
“We are thrilled to, yet again, continue our social impact work together with Bonang and Nomzamo and to welcome them to this once-in-a-generation event at our Central Park stage on Sept. 25.” (Watch Bonang on A Very Bonang Year.)
Update: Nomzamo shone on stage, and introduced Prince Harry and Meghan to the stage.
South African artist Sho Madjozi will also be bringing her trademark energy-filled performance as she joins the lineup from Johannesburg alongside artist, Muzi.
Global Citizen Live’s mission is to unite activists, world leaders, governments, philanthropists, corporations, and Global Citizens in taking urgent action to create change.
Organisers say: “Global Citizen is a social action platform for a global generation that aims to solve the world’s biggest challenges.” These include eradicating poverty, addressing climate change and ensuring worldwide recovery with vaccine equity. The concert is raising awareness and funds.
One of the movement’s requests is that the G7 and EU help end the pandemic by donating at least 1 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses to those in need, and to support the proposal by South Africa and India to waive IP around the production of COVID-19 vaccines and other medical tools — backed by over 100 countries.
SABC’s S3 will be broadcasting the show on Monday Sept. 27 at 10pm SAST.
