Sulu’s best of both worlds

Sunday Mail Bridal Gala while township love rhythms singer – Tanga WekwaSando heads back to his old haunt – the Mannenberg with a new album titled “Sunrise”.

The Charamabs, Cephas Mashakada, Madiz, Cindy Munyavi and Diva Hodoye-dzomba are also expected to illuminate the event.
