Yet another legendary musical act is headed to South Africa this winter. Entertainment company G Twenty One Live and Vertex Events announced that the multi-Grammy-nominated Tamia will be touring the country with a three-city tour later this year.
The 47-year-old is no stranger to South Africa, having toured the country on three prior occasions over the past decade.
The Canadian star has released multiple albums and collaborated with several prominent international musical icons during a career that spans over nearly three decades.
