NGCULWINI – The line-up keeps getting better!
South African Afro Pop sensation Lwah Ndlukulu, affectionately known as the Nkabi Nation First Lady*, is set to perform at Ehawini Lifestyle on Saturday, March 8, 2025. This highly anticipated event promises to showcase Ndlukulu’s enchanting melodies and captivating stage presence, which have garnered her a dedicated fan base across Southern Africa.
Confirmed by Zeeyanda Shabalala of Ehawini Lifestyle, the event will kick off at 3 PM, with gates opening to eager fans ready to experience the magic of live music. Tickets are affordably priced at E100, making it accessible for music lovers to enjoy a night filled with rhythm and excitement. The venue, located just 10 minutes from Manzini, offers a vibrant atmosphere that is sure to enhance the experience for all attendees.
Lwah Ndlukulu’s performance will be the centerpiece of the event, but she won’t be alone on stage. The lineup will also feature a variety of local acts, including a special performance by the popular group Melting C, as well as Khuni, Sbu De Drum DJ, DJ Cup, and Bandora.
Born Lwandile Mtshali in Hluhluwe, Northern KwaZulu-Natal, Lwah Ndlukulu’s journey to stardom is a testament to her talent and determination. She began her musical career in high school as a member of the school choir, where she honed her vocal skills and developed a passion for music. In 2020, driven by her ambition to succeed in the competitive music industry, she made the bold decision to drop out of high school and move to Johannesburg.
Ndlukulu’s big break came when she was featured on Big Zulu’s hit song ‘Umuzi Esandton’. The track’s success catapulted her into the spotlight, leading to her signing with Inkabi Records, a label known for promoting top-tier talent in the Afro Pop genre. Her debut single, ‘Home,’ featuring the renowned artist Sjava, was released in late 2021 and quickly gained traction.
Since then, Lwah Ndlukulu has continued to rise in prominence, releasing a string of platinum and chart-topping singles, including “Ithuba” and “Ngiyeza.” Her collaboration on the hit single ‘Voice Mail’ with Inkabi Nation further solidified her status as a leading figure in the Afro Pop scene.
As anticipation builds for the Ehawini Lifestyle event, fans are eager to witness Lwah Ndlukulu’s performance and the vibrant lineup of local talent. This promises to be a night of unforgettable music and community celebration.
