South African amapiano sensation Zee Nxumalo brings her dynamic energy and powerhouse vocals to the highly anticipated Nedbank Cup Final on Saturday, June 1st.

Her smash hit “Thula Mabota” featuring Pabi Cooper has garnered over 5 million streams in just two months, with its infectious dance challenge taking TikTok by storm and solidifying Zee’s status as a cultural phenomenon.

But this meteoric rise has been years in the making for the Johannesburg-born talent. With a debut album due later this year boasting an impressive lineup of featured artists—including Kabza De Small, TBO, 031Choppa, Shakes & Les, Mashudu, and Josiah De Disciple—Nxumalo is firmly cementing her place among the vanguards of South Africa’s music scene.

“I’m so excited to showcase my growth since the last time I headlined a big sports occasion,” said Zee Nxumalo. “I’m a lot more confident on the big stage, I have a better understanding of crowd control, and I’ve got more music to showcase. We’ve got so many more exciting plans for the year that I can’t wait to share.”

Shingai Darangwa, Zee’s manager, echoed her enthusiasm, stating, “This is another huge landmark in a period of sustained growth for Zee. She keeps pushing us to create more opportunities for her to showcase her talents and rises to the occasion each time. I’ve got no doubt that she will make the Mbombela Stadium shake on Saturday!”

While the Nedbank Cup Final carries immense stakes for the two Premier Soccer League giants, the unstoppable force of nature, Zee Nxumalo, is destined to steal the show once again with her invigorating spectacle. Stay connected with Zee Nxumalo for more music news.
