WIN TICKETS: Sjava, Big Zulu and Lwah Ndlunkulu headline Music at the Lake
Don’t miss this all-star line-up as three of SA’s biggest artists perform live at the iconic Durban Botanic Gardens for Music at the Lake on September 24.
DURBANITES are in for a cultural and musical treat this Heritage Day on Wednesday, September 24, as the Old Mutual Music at the Lake series returns to the Durban Botanic Gardens with a show-stopping line-up of legends – Sjava, Big Zulu, and Lwah Ndlunkulu.
Taking to the stage after 13:00, when the gates open, this next instalment of Old Mutual Music at the Lake promises a highly energetic performance. Sjava, known for his soulful blend of Afro-soul and hip-hop and powerful storytelling through his music, will have the crowds singing along to biggest hits like Sanibonani and Uyena.

He’ll be sharing the stage with the charismatic Big Zulu, whose commanding presence and hit anthems like Imali Eningi have cemented him as a voice of the people and a leader in South African rap culture. Adding to the magic is Lwah Ndlunkulu, the breakout Afro-pop sensation whose heartfelt vocals and fresh artistry have won her fans nationwide, making her one of the most exciting new voices on the local music scene.
The show is already creating a stir on social media. Bandile Mngoma, senior manager: sponsorships and events at Old Mutual, said they are inviting audiences to be part of the Add Your Voice campaign.

He said, “Our support of Music at the Lake is about more than music; it’s about creating a space where every voice can be heard, and every story can be celebrated. That is why we are inviting audiences to the Add Your Voice campaign, to be part of the conversation in South Africa.
“On Heritage Day especially, this partnership reflects our commitment to unity, diversity, and building stronger communities. Just as music brings people together, we want South Africans to know that no matter where they are in their journey, they can start building their future from here. We’re proud to help make that possible in the heart of Durban’s iconic Botanic Gardens.”
