From Rural Roots to the Country’s Grandest Stages. South Africa’s Choir of Hope Brings Their Global Magic Home
South Africa’s beloved musical ambassadors, the Ndlovu Youth Choir, are proud to announce their 2025 Heritage Tour – a vibrant, high-energy celebration of South African music, dance, and unity that will reach communities across the country this September, in association with Jacaranda FM as the official media partner.
With roots in the small village of Moutse in Limpopo, the Ndlovu Youth Choir has journeyed from rural South Africa to Carnegie Hall, the Berlin Philharmonie, and the stages of America’s Got Talent, winning global acclaim with their fresh African sound, rich harmonies, and dazzling performances. They’ve collaborated with global icons including P!nk and Kygo, worked with Disney and Netflix, and helped raise over $5 million for UNICEF. But this September, they’re bringing it all back home.
A Celebration for the People
The Heritage Tour, presented by Jacaranda FM, is more than a concert series — it’s a national celebration. While the Choir is no stranger to sold-out shows in major metros, this tour marks their most ambitious local journey yet, with a heartfelt focus on small towns and underserved communities. For many audiences, this will be their first opportunity to witness the Choir’s full-scale international production live in their hometown.
Every show will be a joyful, interactive experience, filled with reimagined traditional African songs, original local compositions, and iconic global hits, all performed in the Ndlovu Youth Choir’s signature style. Audiences are invited to stand, sing, and dance as we celebrate the spirit of our nation, its music, and most importantly, its people.

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHOIR
“No matter how far our music travels, our hearts remain rooted at home. This tour is a tribute to every South African village, town, and city that has shaped us. We want to bring joy, pride, and hope to every stage we step on — and we want every South African to be a part of the song.”
— Ralf Schmitt, Artistic Director
