Renowned international musician Mpho Majiga, born in Ha Mutsha, has once again demonstrated his love for disco with the release of his new single, Disco 9/9. Last year, Majiga enjoyed major success with his EP Dankie Mpilo and hit singles such as Zimbabwe and Ngwana wa Motswana.
The late-2025 single is receiving strong attention at home and in neighbouring Botswana. Fresh from a very successful tour of Botswana, Majiga will host the highly anticipated Disco 9/9 Show on 31 January 2026 at the Maybach Lounge in Yeoville, Johannesburg.
The show promises a star-studded celebration of disco, featuring legendary performers such as Freddie Gwala, known for hits like Amadamara and Khiphidayimane; Jacqueline Rotwane, formerly of Dalom Kids and the creator of the EP Ithuba; Bafana Kunene, former leader of Matshikos; Tafula, who collaborated with the late Dan Tshanda; and the female group Khanyi and the Golden Ladies.
Majiga reflected on his passion for disco: “I grew up loving Splash disco music and the unique sounds and vocal arrangements of my late boss and big brother, Dan Tshanda. I followed his example, seeing how he stayed true to his music even as genres came and went. I want fans to know that this music shall never die.”
He also spoke about the significance of bringing the event home to South Africa: “I usually perform outside the borders of Mzansi, so this time I’ve organised something powerful for people here at home. I am welcoming them back from their festive travels. My track Zimbabwe also holds a special place in the hearts of many Jozi-based Zimbabweans. Everything is set, and we are expecting a full house — people cannot afford to miss this One Africa, One Love Disco 9/9.”
