Cape Town, South Africa — South Africa’s beloved Mango Groove will celebrate 40 years of music with an exclusive anniversary concert at the iconic Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden on Sunday, 12 January 2025.

A household name since the 1980s, Mango Groove has captivated audiences with their unique blend of marabi, kwela, and pop rhythms, creating an unforgettable soundtrack to South African life. This special event, titled “Memories and Moments”, will take audiences on a celebratory journey through 40 years of hits, history, and heart.

A Night Like No Other

The Kirstenbosch concert promises to be a magical evening under the stars, featuring Mango Groove’s timeless classics such as “Special Star”, “Dance Some More”, and “Moments Away”. The performance will include dazzling visuals, personal anecdotes, nostalgic memories, and delightful surprises.

Reflecting on this momentous occasion, Mango Groove’s iconic vocalist, Claire Johnston, said:"40 years—what an incredible journey! We’re beyond excited to celebrate this milestone at a venue as special as Kirstenbosch, which holds so many treasured memories for us. This isn’t just about celebrating Mango Groove; it’s about honouring South Africa’s journey and all the people who have supported and inspired us over the decades. Expect a night of joy, gratitude, and togetherness."

Special Anniversary Merchandise

To commemorate the milestone, Mango Groove will launch an exclusive merchandise range at the event. Fans can purchase limited-edition memorabilia, vinyl reissues, signed items, and never-to-be-released-again collectables.

Sarah Struys, Events and Tourism Manager at SANBI, added:"We are thrilled to host Mango Groove for this special celebration of 40 years. The band’s music has a unique ability to bring people together, and this anniversary show is the perfect example of the magic and unity that Kirstenbosch is known for."
