Global icon Black Coffee, will next month be headlining the music movement Africa Is Not a Jungle.
The highly anticipated editions will take place on November 8 in Durban and November 29 in Johannesburg, promising a celebration of music, culture, and community with a distinctly African voice.
Through his namesake foundation, the DJ has also confirmed that his benefit concert will be headed to Johannesburg.
This year, Africa Is Not a Jungle strengthens its commitment to social impact through a powerful partnership with the Black Coffee Foundation.
The Black Coffee Foundation is dedicated to uplifting under-resourced communities across South Africa by creating sustainable opportunities in education, the arts, and development.
Through this collaboration, every fan attending Africa Is Not a Jungle becomes part of a larger movement — one that amplifies African creativity while investing in the future of the continent.
For every ticket purchased, R20 will be donated to the Foundation, directly supporting communities in need and empowering creative projects that live well beyond the music.
Earlier this year, the Black Coffee Foundation hosted a fundraising gala to raise money for its newest initiative, the Black Coffee Music Academy.
To raise funds for The Black Coffee Music Academy, a live auction held by Strauss & Co took place, getting the credit cards to come out and play.
The auction had one-of-a-kind pieces, including a signature Nelson Makamo artwork, which Mhlongo tried to bid on but was ultimately outbid; the artwork was auctioned off for R500 000.
A limited-edition Rolex watch was auctioned for R600 000 to businessman Macozoma. Nxumalo was outbid on a couple’s all-expenses paid VIP experience to Ibiza for Black Coffee’s show, which was auctioned for R350 000.
In total, R3,1 million was raised towards the foundation of the music academy. — IOLNEWS
