The two-day-long concert will see Sulumani and Winky D sharing stage with South Africa-based Nox Guni of Ndinonyara fame.

The tour kicks off in Johannesburg at Baseline New Town tomorrow before proceeding to Good Hope Centre in Cape Town on Saturday.

Sulu’s publicist Joe Nyamungoma said they were happy to be sharing the stage with Winky D uniting their fans from different genres.

“We are ready for the show and promise our fans fireworks. Our music appeals to people of different cultural backgrounds so we are always happy to perform for them sharing the stage with any artistes,” said Nyamungoma.

“We have been rehearsing new stuff for 2014 so audiences should expect a great performance with new content and routines,” he said.

Winky D’s manager Jonathan Banda said the Ninja President would be showcasing the Vigilance Band for the first time in South Africa.

“Winky D will also take time to celebrate his four awards victory with his South African fans who have appreciated his works since his first show in Cape Town in 2009,” Banda said.

“The Vigilance Band will set out on this tour with a large playlist of singles that have become pre-requisites on local radio stations like Paita Party and Sungura Like among others.
