GIG OF THE WEEK
Nje and Majozi
Spar Women’s Race, Sahara Stadium Kingsmead (Sunday)
LADIES running the Spar Women’s Race are in for a treat after their run as they will be rewarded with performances by two acts: Afro/funk/rock band, Nje and indie-folk star, Majozi.
Nje, meaning “just”, comprises vocalist Portia Malunga Rowling, bassist Rogan van den Berg, drummer Gary Parker and guitarist Gregan Aherin. They have performed at Splashy Fen, Smoking Dragon, Live – the Venue, The Winston, The Wavehouse and will now delight the crowds at Sahara Stadium, Kingsmead.
A press release states that the band will sing their most popular single, Gazi Lami, which has been featured on the SA Top 20 Countdown.
Following Nje will be local singer, Majozi. The performer claims his music has subtle influences of electro. With his hit single The River, it is apt that he will be performing to a sea of beautiful ladies clad in the pink race T-shirts in the finishing area.
Majozi has opened for The Lumineers, Yoav, Zebra and Giraffe, Gangs of Ballet and Matthew Mole. – Tonight Reporter
• The Spar Women’s Race with performances by Nje and Majozi takes place on Sunday at the Sahara Stadium Kingsmead, Kingsmead Way. 10am. Free. Call 0312011638 or visit www.sparwomensrace.co.za.
