South African music lovers are in for a soulful experience as Malik Zwane, the celebrated voice behind 2024’s acclaimed self-titled album, gears up for a one-night-only live performance at the Hard Rock Café in Sandton on June 5, 2025.

Malik, whose music effortlessly blends Afrosoul, Afrobeat, and RnB rhythms, returns to the live stage after a period of personal and creative reinvention. His latest album, released in November 2024, has resonated deeply with fans across the country, offering heartfelt lyrics and captivating melodies. The singer’s work is more than just entertainment – it’s a reflection of growth, prayer, and purpose.

“I stepped away from the limelight, but I never stopped creating. I produced for other artists, and for TV and radio. It gave me time to reflect on my place in the industry,” Malik shared in a recent conversation.

This upcoming show at Hard Rock Café promises more than just music – it’s an intimate, emotionally charged experience curated by an artist who understands the power of storytelling through sound.
