Grammy Award‑winning global superstar Doja Cat is set to make a major live appearance in South Africa this March as the headliner of Global Citizen’s Move Afrika 2026 tour. The tour, designed to highlight African creativity and support local creative economies, will stop at SunBet Arena, Time Square in Pretoria on 20 March 2026, with Doja Cat leading the lineup of international and regional artists.
Move Afrika is more than a series of concerts — it is part of a broader Pan‑African initiative powered by Global Citizen that aims to drive investment, create job opportunities in the live events sector and strengthen local creative industries across host cities. Since its inception, the programme has filled over 90 percent of production roles with local talent and generated thousands of employment opportunities in host cities.
For Doja Cat, whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, this tour stop carries personal resonance. With family ties to South Africa and a global reputation for genre‑blending artistry, Doja Cat had this to say about the tour: “From my South African roots straight to the world stage, we’re bringing energy, purpose, and real change to Move Afrika in Kigali and Pretoria. This isn’t just a tour, it is a movement that creates jobs and opportunities that last.”
Her appearance in Pretoria on 20 March 2026 marks her first major performance in South Africa under the Move Afrika banner, following dates in Kigali, Rwanda earlier in the tour. The concert is expected to draw fans of her high‑energy performances and eclectic catalogue that crosses hip‑hop, pop and experimental sounds.
