Gauteng fans of award-winning South African performer Makhadzi will soon get their opportunity to experience the energy of her One Woman Show, as the Limpopo-born star prepares to bring the Road2 One Woman Show to Emperors Palace in Kempton Park on 29 November 2026.

Presented by Makhadzi Entertainment in partnership with Thikho Events Management, the concert will take place at Centre Court, marking an important stop ahead of the highly anticipated Christmas Eve stadium performance at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

However, this is more than just another performance on Makhadzi’s calendar. The production promises to take audiences through different chapters of her musical journey, revisiting the songs and moments that have helped establish her as one of the country’s most recognisable performers.

From the success of Matorokisi to the popularity of Sesi Ka Rose and Ghanama, the show will celebrate a catalogue that continues to connect with audiences across generations and beyond language barriers.

According to Richard M. Ramudzuli, founder and managing director of Thikho Events Management, the production creates an opportunity to explore the different stages of Makhadzi’s career through her music.

The One Woman Show first took place in Botswana in 2022 before making its South African debut at Peter Mokaba Stadium in 2024. That edition featured appearances by Sho Madjozi, DJ Tira and Nkosazana Daughter. Furthermore, 2024 marked another major milestone for Makhadzi, who won the BET Viewers’ Choice Award for Best New International Act.

Meanwhile, the Gauteng concert arrives just two days after the release of her new album, scheduled for Friday, 27 November. The project follows Sesi Ka Rose, which won Best Traditional Music Album at this year’s South African Music Awards.

For Makhadzi, the timing creates an exciting opportunity to connect with audiences who will have just started discovering the new music. She is particularly interested in seeing which songs listeners embrace when the album finally reaches them.

The Gauteng performance will also build anticipation for the main One Woman Show on 24 December, which will coincide with her 30th birthday celebrations in Polokwane.

Doors at Emperors Palace will open at 4pm, with the show scheduled to begin at 5pm.

Tickets start from R250 and are available through Webtickets. Further information is available at www.thikhoevents.com.
