Award-winning singer Busiswa Gqulu is set to end 2025 on a high note with consecutive performances at two major events in Ekurhuleni. She will appear at the Metro FM Heatwave Gauteng leg on December 20 at Emperors Palace, followed by the Exclusive White Lifestyle celebration on New Year’s Day at the Birchwood Hotel.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Busiswa said performing at the beginning of a new year holds special significance for her.
“I’ve been performing; I’ve been on stage, recording and releasing. I guess being an independent artist makes things different, as my music is being received differently in different parts of the world,” she said.
Busiswa released her latest EP, Honey & Grace, on May 23. Created in Germany, the project features standout tracks Grace and Man2Man, as well as a collaboration with US house star Monique Bingham. The EP is available on all streaming platforms and is supported by a documentary that aired on Trace in March.
Event organiser Grego Villa said this year’s Heatwave will offer an unforgettable end to the festive season.
“Towards the Heatwave, fans can expect the grand finale experience to be nothing short of fireworks, paving the way to the New Year’s Day experience. We’ve got the crème de la crème of the music community on our line-up,” he said.
Busiswa said fans attending her shows can expect a refreshed but familiar performance.
“People can expect to feel loved and appreciated, but also expect nostalgia from 2012 and 2014. I’ve opened my dance studios under Majesty Moves, so I’m constantly in rehearsal mode,” she said.
Looking ahead to 2026, Busiswa said performing on New Year’s Day is symbolic and encouraged people to prioritise their wellbeing.
“People should take good care of their bodies; health is wealth,” she said.Busiswa Books Major Year-End and New Year Performances
