Singer Zee Nxumalo has confirmed that all her visas have been approved for an international tour spanning three continents. The Mzansi artist posted a gig guide to X on Monday, 27 July 2026, with a simple but loaded caption: “All Visas approved.”
Nxumalo is set to perform in Sydney on 31 July at Aura (ARQ), followed by Melbourne on 2 August, Perth on 7 August, and Brisbane on 9 August. She then heads to London on 28 August for Piano People in the Park, and Dublin on 29 August for a night at JTB Bar & Lounge. Her African leg includes Zimbabwe on 12 September, Kenya on 19 September, Namibia on 26 September, and Eswatini on 10 October.
Mzansi artists face cancellations
The announcement carries extra weight given the current climate. Some South African artists have been dropped from gigs across Africa as tensions over the country’s anti-illegal immigration marches spill into the entertainment space. Event organisers and promoters across the continent have distanced themselves from South African acts in the aftermath of the March and March movement protests.

Mzansi’s reactions were a mix of excitement, political commentary, and a geography lesson. Below are some of the responses:
@mark_nomi was straightforward: “See you at Eswatini”
@charley_ziggy had a political warning ready: “Carry the EFF flag with you so that you don’t come across @JacintaNgobese from those places, especially AFRICA, because yeyi some Zulu Tribalist decided to create problems for everyone.”
