SPEAKER DETAILS

Guest Speaker brings you Shades of Africa. The fusion of cultures has never been more magical. An explosion of colour, rhythm and soul. Christof van der Berg in collaboration with Nhoza Sitsholwana brings an exiting new African element to the greatest songs of all time.

After their introduction on the Expresso morning show, SABC 3, social media platforms have been buzzing with excitement. The newly formed Shades of Africa were rated one of the top 10 hottest topics on social media that morning and the public has scored them full marks for their performance. These two artists managed to bring to the South African music scene a concept that is so fresh and different, we have no doubt that they will very soon be one of South Africa’s biggest music exports.
