Multi-award-winning Gospel musician and songwriter Tasha Cobbs Leonard is set to grace her South African fans with her presence. The US singer will be in Pretoria and Cape Town next month.

The praiseworthy event is set to take place on September 21 at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria, while Cape Town will worship on September 22 at GrandWest.

This will be Leonard's first visit to South Africa. 

She joins a long list of other artists, such as Canadian musicians Tamia Washington and Deborah Cox, who visited the country in July, along with Musiq Soulchild. Gabriella “H.E.R.” Wilson and Kendrick Lamar are expected to have their shows in South Africa in December at the highly anticipated Hey Neighbour Festival. US R&B and soul musician Anthony Hamilton is set to also hit SA's ground next month.

Vertex Events’ executive director Thato Segaole, who is part of the organisers, said:

“Tasha Cobbs is a powerhouse, and we are excited to bring her into the country for two, much-anticipated Magic Music Sessions events that will be safe spaces for worshippers and Gospel lovers to experience her live band at the highest level.”
