For one night only, music icon and Queen of Gospel Dr Rebecca Malope will exit her retirement to grace the TikTok stage for an hour-long performance to the global TikTok community. The “Ngegazi Lemvana” hitmaker left the music industry in 2021, after 30 years of making a name for herself around the world, and will now return for a special performance, allowing her fans to celebrate the Easter festivities with some of her most renowned songs.
This iconic performance will stream LIVE on TikTok from the TikTok South Africa page on Thursday 21 April 2022 from 19:00. To be part of this stellar celebration, follow @tiktok.southafrica on TikTok. Celebrate Easter with the TikTok community using the hashtag #CelebrateEaster.
When asked about the decision to return to her fans, Dr Malope shared:
“Music will always form an integral part of my life. It is through the art of music that I could celebrate, mourn, travel and take my talent to the world. I felt that Easter was the perfect opportunity for me to perform again as I get to connect with my supporters over such a special time such as Easter as well as share my art with some of those who may have never had the opportunity to see me perform before.”
TikTok’s Africa Music Operations manager, Yuvir Pillay, expresses:
“We are very honoured and excited to be hosting one of the world’s most celebrated music icons LIVE on our platform. This performance will mean a lot to our community as music forms a deep part of our lifeline. Live entertainment does extremely well locally on the platform, this is the case across various genres which highlights our efforts to be an all-inclusive that brings an array of music genres to our TikTok stages.”
