The pop queen, who rose to fame through Dan Tshanda’s Dalom Kids stable, for the first time staged a show at Lobengula Hall last Saturday.
The show, initially scheduled to be staged at Whatever Sports Bar, was held at Lobengula Hall due to limited space at the sports bar.
Majalisa said emalokishini fans are party animals and she was thrilled by the support she received.
“I am over the moon, I didn’t expect such a crowd as this one from the high density suburbs.
“I am so amazed. It’s like I have staged a show in Soweto,” said an elated Majalisa.
“I usually witness this kind of reception in Soweto and places like Midrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, where I am most popular with my fans. I didn’t know that staging a show in the high density suburbs — emalokishini— could be a better show than in the city.
“I am coming back very soon for more shows in Bulawayo’s high-density suburbs,” added the pop queen.
Majalisa put up a scintillating performance in a packed to capacity Lobengula Hall last Saturday.
Majalisa performed alongside her band members and her popular keyboard master, Patrick Mthimukhulu, who also mesmerised fans with his key board antics.
Majalisa took to the packed hall at around 1pm after some of her band members and resident DJs curtain- raised for her.
The pop queen opened the show with her popular yesteryear hit songs Dumelang, What Do You Do, Uwee and others from her latest hit album ePhatini which sent the crowd into a frenzy as they sang along with the queen.
The energetic queen produced a marathon performance lasting nearly five hours as the fans continuously called for her to remain on stage for four hours forcing the queen to leave the stage at around 6am.
In an interview, show promoter and director of Whatever Promotions, Honest Sibanda, said shows in the high density suburbs are now more lucrative and well attended than in the city.
“Most music fans are from the high density suburbs and some are now shunning city shows due to transport problems at night. It’s high time we bring the foreign and local musicians to the high density suburbs, right at the fans door steps.
“In the high density suburbs we have good spacious city council halls which became white elephants, but they were meant for entertainment activities in the high density suburbs,” added Sibanda.
The show was attended by fans from Old Lobengla, Njube, Magwegwe, Emakhandeni and other surrounding suburbs in the city.
