NANDO’S took over Maponya Mall in Soweto this past week with great performances from award-winning singers and rising singers.
The fast food outlet hosted the Basha in Casa showcase at the mall, which saw performances by Khan Khalii, Muneyi, Langa Mavuso, and Nandoca Uhurus on Sunday, 17 July.
Sunday’s Basha in Casa was the second event held this month and is one of many upcoming events leading to the main event, the Basha Uhuru Freedom Festival, in October.

“The idea behind #BashaInCasa is that Nando’s can provide an opportunity for emerging musical talent every month as a lead-up to the Basha Uhuru Freedom Festival happening in October. We’re the biggest private collector of contemporary Southern African art in the world and we use our restaurants as a gallery to showcase visual arts and now we’re looking to also use our restaurants as a stage to provide a platform for Mzansi’s hottest young musicians,” she said.
“At Nando’s, we run an internal talent search competition called Nandoca Uhurus and we’ve discovered that not only do our people serve up the best PERi-PERi chicken, but we also have a wealth of creative talent in the Nando’s family.”
Nontobeko Sibiya, the brand’s marketing manager: communications, said they are looking forward to more events.
“We’re thrilled to have done this again. Basha in Casa has allowed us to celebrate together as South Africans while offering a platform to young artists. We look forward to continuing to share this unique dining experience with our guests,” she said.
