At first, she acknowledged the ovation by putting her hand over her mouth in shock.
Then she responded with a cheeky: “No ways, yoh, you guys are so loud.”
She dropped all her hits and got the mense dancing in the crowd.
But it has been her sensational stagecraft that has set on the path to superstardom.
With rave reviews of her shows around the world, she pulled out all the stops for her mense here innie Kaap.
She appeared behind a screen for her opening number Jump and when the curtain dropped to reveal the star in an orange spotlight, the mense were hyped to see the “pretty girl from Joburg”, screaming out the first lines of the song.
Truth or Dare got a raucous response from the crowd, with mense singing along at the top of the lungs.

But the highlight of the show could only be her performance of her mega-hit Water.
