MBABANE – The wait is almost over.
Music lovers in Eswatini are eagerly anticipating the highly awaited performance by South African amapiano sensation, Kabza De Small, set to take place at Mdzimba View Shisanyama on April 17.
The organizers of the show have since announced that tickets for the event will officially go on sale this coming Friday, April 4.
To accommodate high demand, organizers revealed that tickets will be made available at multiple locations, including Pick n Pay outlets across the country, Mdzimba View Shisanyama in Ezulwini (Satellite), and First Choice Butchery in Mbabane. Pick n Pay stores selling the tickets include those located at Mbabane Emphalwini Mall, The Crescent in Ezulwini, The Gables in Ezulwini, Mahhala, and The Hub in Manzini.
Presale tickets are priced at E200 for general entry and E350 for VIP access.
Mdzimba View Shisanyama co-owner Shimon Torgeman stated that they were taking a different approach this time by making tickets available well in advance.
He emphasized that ticket sales would follow a first-come, first-served basis, and once they reached their targeted number, sales would be halted.
He added that due to the high demand and the desire to offer the best possible experience, there might not be tickets available for purchase at the gate on the day of the event.
Kabza De Small, known for his hit songs such as Asibe Happy, Sponono, Woza, and iLog Drum, has consistently drawn large crowds each time he performs in Eswatini. He remains one of the most beloved South African artists in the country, with his electrifying performances and signature amapiano sound attracting thousands of fans.
The event will take place as part of Mdzimba View Shisanyama’s popular Ladies Night series, a weekly Thursday event known for its high-energy performances. Alongside Kabza De Small, a lineup of local acts will take the stage, including Lady Zee, Dual Force, Zulu D, and Obsession. Other supporting artists such as Bisto, Baybash, and Ayacity will also deliver performances that showcase Eswatini’s dynamic music scene.
Torgeman expressed his excitement about hosting such a major artist, stating that the event would be one of the biggest in Eswatini’s entertainment calendar. He emphasized that the show would be the most significant event ever hosted by Mdzimba View Shisanyama, with a strong focus on quality, particularly for VVIP guests. The exclusive VVIP section will be limited to 100 patrons, ensuring a premium experience with strict access control.
To enhance the overall experience, the venue has introduced several improvements, including strategically placed satellite bars to ensure faster service. Additional security measures will be in place, and organizers have partnered with nearby establishments to provide free secure parking with car guards and a shuttle service to and from the venue.
With April 17 falling just before Good Friday, organizers believe the timing will allow patrons to fully enjoy the event without work-related concerns the following day. Torgeman reiterated that once ticket sales reached full capacity, no further tickets would be sold to maintain a high-quality experience for attendees.
As anticipation continues to build, fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets early to be part of what promises to be an unforgettable night of music, culture, and celebration.
