This year’s show features international, award-winning diva, Karyn White as well as South Africa’s own divas Sasha Lee Davids, Paxton Fielies and Unathi Msengana.
Karyn etched her name in music history with her smash hit song Superwoman which made international waves, selling over a million units.
The song was certified gold and named the Billboard R&B Song of the Year in 1989.
