LOCAL fans of South African rapper, Cassper Nyovest, are in for a surprise as the multi-award winning artiste has embarked on a tour of Africa to promote his latest album, Refiloe, as well as celebrate the launch of a new mobile phone which he designed.
The “Refiloe Album Tour” starts on May 27 in Cassper’s home town of Mafikeng before he heads to Maputo, Mozambique on the following day. From there, he will perform in Windhoek, Namibia on July 30.
Refiloe, Cassper’s second studio album which carries hit tracks Mama I Made It and Le Mpitse, went platinum on its first day of release after fans were given free copies during the “Fill Up The Dome” concert.
The tour, being sponsored by AG Mobile, will see the artiste visit all major cities in South Africa and other African countries where Cassper has a huge following.
Announcing the tour dates, Cassper revealed that the tour was inspired by the AG#Hashtag mobile phone which he designed and recently released with AG Mobile.
“We’re making history again with my album tour and I’m starting at home on the 27th of May! Maftown! You need to come see this! It’s a show designed around the actual album and it’s inspired by the phone I just dropped with AG Mobile.
“This isn’t a party! It’s a concert! I just want to give you guys quality. You need to come see it,” wrote Cassper on Instagram.
However, dates and venues for most of the events including Zimbabwe are yet to be confirmed as Cassper’s team is still finalising the venues. Other countries expected to witness the tour are Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana and Nigeria before the grand closing of the tour in Johannesburg.
Cassper, who graced last year’s Kalawa Homecoming party in Bulawayo, has staged four shows in the country with most of them being well attended.
