ABOUT MANDISI DYANTYIS

Mandisi debuted the show with the Orchestra at the Artscape in Cape Town and Joburg fans have since been asking for it. 

Known for his unmatched vocal superiority, Mandisi’s shows are always a sold-out affair with fans singing from the first note to the last.

His first album Somandla with songs such as Molo, Olwethu, Nimthanda and Ingoma Yenkedama made him a household name, not only in South Africa but abroad. His second album Cwaka was nothing short of brilliant, making the Gqeberha-born star absolutely peerless.
