Nigerian international music sensation Tems left fans spellbound in Johannesburg, South Africa, as she delivered an unforgettable performance during the latest stop of her ‘Born In The Wild’ world tour.
The Grammy-winning artist took centre stage at The Dome, Nasrec, a newly opened venue with a seating capacity of 6,000.
She treated fans to a stunning showcase of her hit songs while also engaging them in an exclusive meet-and-greet session at the sidelines of the concert.
South Africa marks the first African stop of Tems’ world tour following the cancellation of her Kigali, Rwanda, concert.
In a post shared on her X account on January 30, the singer revealed that she had initially planned to perform in Rwanda but later reconsidered due to the ongoing tensions between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
“I promoted my Kigali concert ignorant of the ongoing crisis between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo,” she stated, adding that she did not intend to appear insensitive to the political climate.
She further expressed her concern for those affected by the conflict. The decision has since been met with understanding and appreciation from both South African and Congolese fans.
