Shimza announces Nelson Mandela Day celebrations

One Man Show streams on 18 July.


Proud South African and Ibiza favourite Shimza is planning a special streaming event for Nelson Mandela Day.

Becoming the first DJ to play on Robben Island, Shimza will stream his annual One Man Show event between 16:00 and 18:00 CET on Saturday 18 July.

Not only will the stream celebrate Mandela's legacy, but it will also raise charitable funds for The Kolisi Foundation and The Shimuzic Foundation.

Located several miles off the coast of Cape Town, Robben Island is of huge historical significance to Shimza's homeland.

Prior to becoming the nation's President, Nelson Mandela was incarcerated in the island's prison for 18 of his 27-year stint for his role as a political activist.

In the modern day, it is registered as an UNESCO World Heritage Site, in addition to being a museum that immortalises the past hardship and ongoing cultural significance.
