Multi-award-winning songstress and songwriter, Simphiwe Dana is set to celebrate a milestone in her career with a concert.
Her debut album, Zandisile marks 20 years since it was released. The album was released to the public in 2005, it garnered popularity for its iconic songs including Ndiredi, Thwel’ Ubunzima and Ndize Mama Tata; and won her an award for Best Newcomer at the South African Music Awards (SAMA).

Recently, the Mayine singer took to her Instagram page to announce that she will celebrate this album that shaped her music career with a music concert under the theme- Reflections.
In her caption, she said she will be exploring songs from her repertoire in the upcoming celebration. The celebration will be held at the Baxter Theatre Centre, in Cape Town on the 27th and 28th of June, at 19h30.
