MBABANE– True Classic Entertainment is set to take its latest hit Makoti Longeva to audiences across Eswatini through a newly announced nationwide tour that kicks off this weekend.

The Makoti Longeva Tour, led by the True Classic collective – featuring M Nation, Cool Drop, DJ Citie, and Histo – begins on 8 November 2025 with a launch event at Espinho Lounge in Siteki.

The tour follows the strong reception of the single Makoti Longeva, which has already surpassed 170 000 views on YouTube within its first month of release. The song has quickly gained traction across social platforms and radio, positioning itself as a potential anthem in the country’s fast-growing music scene.

Speaking about the motivation behind the tour, lead artist M Nation said the aim was to take the song beyond online numbers and physically connect with supporters nationwide.

“We are promoting the song Makoti Longeva. We have realised that the song has so much potential, and we are making sure it reaches all parts of the country,” he explained.

The Siteki launch event will feature a full lineup of live performances, including M Nation, Histo, Cool Drop, Pro RBS, DJ Citie, and Grinder – a showcase expected to highlight both the collective’s chemistry and the individual strengths of each artist. True Classic Entertainment has earned a reputation for high-energy live shows, and the group has promised nothing less for this tour.

Entrance to the event will be free until 7pm, after which tickets will be sold at E50. The organisers say this structure is designed to make the event accessible to as many people as possible while still supporting the sustainability of the tour.

M Nation emphasised the team’s commitment to delivering a quality live experience, stating:

“People should expect the very best from True Classic Entertainment. We will give our all throughout this tour.”

He also encouraged residents of Siteki and surrounding areas to show support by attending the launch.

“We would like to invite everyone in Siteki to come through. We have a lot to share with them, and we promise the best entertainment ever,” he said.

BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR LOCAL MUSIC

The Makoti Longeva Tour arrives at a time when Eswatini’s music industry is experiencing growing digital visibility and regional crossover, with more artists gaining streaming numbers, media attention, and cross-border collaborations. True Classic Entertainment hopes the tour will not only promote the single but also strengthen the presence of Swati artists on both local and international stages.

The crew has confirmed that Siteki is the first stop, with additional venues across the country set to be announced in the coming weeks. The tour is expected to run through the festive season, capitalising on the high entertainment demand during year-end celebrations.

As anticipation builds, Makoti Longeva continues to circulate widely on radio, TikTok, and playlists – and the tour is poised to turn the online buzz into a national live music moment.
