ZWILE TO TOUR SEVEN PLACES IN CAPE TOWN
MBABANE – Fresh from hosting a nearly sold-out one man show, award-winning Saxophonist Zwile Bhembe will embark on a tour set to keep Capetonians on their feet.
Bhembe will from June 15, 2023, tour South Africa’s oldest city, for a good two weeks, upon finishing that tour, he will come back home and prepare for his Botswana tour, taking place in October this year. When speaking to the saxophonist, he mentioned how he was quite happy to be finally getting something that he has wanted since he was a child. “I have wanted to perform in Cape Town for a very long time and I had been writing to these places for years with no response. Last year during the Standard Bank Luju Festival, I met Mandisi Dyantyis’s saxophone player and from there he has been putting me on,” said Zwile.

There are a few more places that the artist had approached where he mentioned he was still waiting for responses. He further said that the Cape Town tour was one of the many ways they are marketing his music and himself across these borders. In addition, during Zwile’s one man show held last year, the artist received an invite to tour Botswana. ‘‘We will be basically honouring an invite from our friends in Botswana,” said Zwile. Worth noting is that Zwile is a young talented musician and artistic person, having started playing the saxophone at the age of 15. He also featured a number of local artists in the field such as Itallo Dlamini, Women in Praise, Step by Step, Durable Strings, Afroctaves, C. Maya, Leebombo and others. The star also launched his YouTube channel today, which is dedicated to his art and music. The channel will also play host to his many memorable performances in and out of the country.
