Amor Vittone is one of South Africa’s most famous Afrikaans singers, with a career full of golden hits and awards. Her performance brings warmth, charisma and professional brilliance to the stage.

Sifiso Nene: Because of Success – Monday, 22 December 2025
Multi-award-winning comedian Sifiso Nene is known for his ability to weave captivating narratives from ordinary stories, and has firmly established himself as a fresh voice in South African comedy.
Originally from Durban, his journey in the entertainment industry began in earnest after he moved to Johannesburg in 2006, aiming to become a scriptwriter for the well-known comedy show, the Pure Monate Show. However, his talent for storytelling was quickly recognised, and he transitioned into stand-up comedy, where he flourished.
Nene recalls a turning point in his career when he participated in the reality competition show So You Think You’re Funny! hosted by David Kau. “That show changed my life and introduced me to the whole country. Now the Laugh Africa show has rebranded me and introduced me to new audiences. The journey has opened up a lot of doors, such as performing at different significant events, festivals and appearances on TV. All these things added value to my brand, which is why I can do my tour today,” he says.
The comedian has enjoyed considerable success since then, performing at various significant events and earning a slew of accolades, including the prestigious Audience Choice Award at the second annual South African Comics Choice Awards.
In 2022, Nene's engaging narrative style garnered him viral fame with his show Baby Mama Drama 2, tackling the often sensitive topic of co-parenting with comedic grace, he explained, “I never expected to write a second instalment since I believed I had gone through all the possible baby mama drama in my first show six years ago. However, the pandemic added more elements to my story, and I decided to vent in the best way I know how: on stage.”
Nene explains his latest show draws inspiration from audience interactions with his previous comedy special, Laugh Africa, aired on Showmax. “The title was a catchy line that they remembered from the content that I delivered,” he says.
A testament to his growing influence, his recently garnered the Winners' Choice Award at the April 2025 Comics Choice Comedy Awards, a recognition bestowed by previous award winners. “It puts my name on the map and in greater spaces, so I honestly appreciate it,” he said, reflecting on his journey thus far.
With this performance, he aims not only to entertain but also to offer audiences a fresh perspective on life through his unique lens of humour.
