So when we heard he will be embarking on his final world tour this year, we couldn’t help feel nostalgic. The iconic South African artist will be performing at the Teatro Theatre in Montecasino for two Johannesburg shows on Saturday 7th July and Sunday 8th July, before moving to Durban for his nationwide leg.
