Unmissable events in Joburg: from musical collaborations to Christmas in July
Bassline Live presents 'History of House' with Mörda and the Soweto Gospel Choir
Two musical powerhouses are coming together for a musical spectacle in Joburg this weekend.
This concert will see a collaboration between the three-time Grammy Award-winner, the Soweto Gospel Choir's 'History of House', as well as the Grammy-nominated Mörda, whose real name is Bongani Mohosana.
It is expected to fuse the choir's emotional depth with the 'Horns in the Sun' hitmaker's Afro-futuristic sound.
Attendees are also urged to bring something to donate to the Nelson Mandela Foundation as part of Mandela Day festivities.
Where: The Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City Casino.
When: Friday, July 18, from 8pm.

'Here we go!': Fabrizio Romano announces Zim artist's show in viral video
Fabrizio Romano, the globally recognised football journalist famous for breaking transfer news with his trademark 'Here we go!', has shocked fans in Zimbabwe after appearing in a short video announcing Winky D's upcoming concert. The clip, shared by Winky D himself on social media, shows Romano casually delivering the news as if he was confirming a football deal. 'Winky D, The Gaffa to Alex Sports Club, here we go! The deal is done,' Fabrizio announces in the video. 'Saturday, 30 August 2025 at Alex Sports Club. Stay tuned for more updates, and it's a here we go!' The unexpected crossover between the world of football journalism and Zimdancehall royalty has left many people talking, with some celebrating it as a major publicity win and others questioning whether the video is real or AI-generated. To make things even more interesting, Fabrizio Romano dropped a comment under Winky D's Instagram post, simply saying: 'It's a here we go.' He didn't explain much. For many, it was the confirmation they needed. Social media quickly lit up with reactions, as thousands of fans, both local and abroad, tried to figure out what just happened. 'Fabrizio Romano shouting out The Gaffa? This is peak 2025,' one fan posted on Facebook. Others were so convinced, saying that the haters will think it is an AI-generated video. Here is how others reacted: @AndileSinyolo: 'Always expect the unexpected from the Gaffa.' @CosmasMakucha: 'I took off my hat, respect.' @EugineMakura ' When you are big, you are big.' Born Wallace Chirumiko, Winky D is a Zimbabwean artist with a loyal following in the country and beyond. Known as 'The Gaffa,' he rose to fame with his unique blend of Zimdancehall, reggae, and Afro-beats. Fabrizio Romano's video about artists is rare, especially for a Zimbabwean.
