She has collaborated with DJ Ganyani on their hit single ‘Emazulwini’ in 2018. Having signed a record deal with Open Mic Production, she co-wrote and was featured on Master KG’s chart-topping single ‘Jerusalema’ in 2019, which debuted number one on Billboard Music charts and Apple Music charts. The ‘Xola Moya Wami’ hitmaker will be the only artists that will not be performing the maskandi genre.

The host, Menzi Thabethe said they decided to add something more fun, a new feature on the line-up that will entertain people. “Nomcebo has become a house hold name both in Eswatini and South Africa. I strongly believe that maskandi music lovers will be able to relate to her music and also dance,” he said. When asked about the performance time slots, Thabethe said the show will start early and every artist will be given the same time to perform. “We are also aware of the current COVID-19 pandemic and we will ensure that we adhere to all the health precautions set by the government.
