…also debuts on Expresso
BY DELISA THWALA
MBABANE – Vocalist and award-winning Saxophonist Zwile Bhembe is currently shining in his first-ever Cape Town tour.
Bhembe left the country on June 15, 2023, for his tour which commenced on June 16, 2023. He went on to perform live on SABC 3.
SABC 3 is a bilingual show that has something for everyone covering a wide range of topics including home, green living, fashion, entertainment, food, tech and travel.
Expresso is unlike any breakfast show in South Africa. Broadcast live from a glamorous penthouse studio and focusing on lifestyle.
Every morning the informal chat and charm of their presenters give people a brighter start to their day: the ever-outrageous Katlego Maboe, sexy Ewan Strydom, and beautiful Leigh-Ann Williams.
This feel-good show keeps one up-to-date with trends, tips and tricks. Zwile performed for over an hour, and had South Africans swooning over him and how talented he is.
He was top of the trending list, on twitter under the Expresso hashtag.
Meanwhile, Zwile’s manager and Stable owner, Khulekani Karly Mamba, relatively known as Uncle Karly, said the Cape Town tour was one of the many ways they are marketing the artist.
“We are working around the clock to make sure he has a great tour, a number of places are still to be confirmed but he is already touring Cape Town,” he said.
In addition, he confirmed that, during Zwile’s one-man show held last year, they received an invite to tour Botswana.
“We will be basically honouring an invite from our friends in Botswana, a lot is happening on the ground and we are busy behind the scene for great projects to be confirmed later in the year,” said Uncle Karly.
Worth noting is that Zwile is a young talented musician and artistic person. Having started playing the saxophone at the age of 15.
He also featured a number of local artists in the field such as Itallo Dlamini, Women in Praise, Step by Step, Durable Strings, Afroctaves, C. Maya, Leebombo and others.
The star also launched his YouTube channel today, which is dedicated to his art and music. The channel will also play host to his many memorable performances in and out of the country.
