One of the new songs dedicated to women is none other than “Season of a Woman”. “This song talks about issues affecting women, including abuse and the killing of women, which is a serious issue in the country these days. It needs us to talk about it even in music,” said Pretty.
Guests for the night will include Fezile Moya, from the talented Afrotractions family, former Joyous Celebration singer, Sabata Masoka, Generations detective, aka Tumelo, Precious Khumo, Khaya Sibanyoni and Bonginkosi Nkosi from BCR FM.
Tickets for the concert are available from Computicket at R150. On Sunday doors will be open from 14:00 and the live recording starts at 16:00.
