Amapiano royalty met the roar of the crowd at Kingsmead as MaWhoo and Zee Nxumalo brought their signature style and infectious energy to the SA20. From spontaneous dance breaks to inspiring words on success, the duo proved that when cricket and music collide, the vibes are unmatched.
The SA20 delivered the cricket, Kingsmead Stadium delivered the roar, and MaWhoo and Zee Nxumalo delivered the ultimate main-character energy.
It was a high-octane blend of sport, Amapiano, and pure vibes as Durban played host to a collision of music and wickets.
The air at Kingsmead was electric as fans turned out in droves for the showdown between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and the Pretoria Capitals.
Between the thumping basslines of the stadium speakers and every boundary sparking a frenzy in the stands, it was a loud reminder that live cricket in South Africa simply hits different.
Sizzling among the crowd were two of the industry’s brightest stars: MaWhoo, the vocal powerhouse and model dominating the Amapiano scene, and Zee Nxumalo, the soulful hitmaker known for her chart-topping hooks.
The duo was seen soaking up the Durban sun, blending seamlessly with the fans, and fully embracing the magic of the game.
PITCHSIDE WITH SUPERSPORT: The Vibes, The Beats, and The Bats
The highlight of the day came when the stars stepped into the spotlight for an exclusive pitchside chat with SuperSport’s Nqobile Khwezi.
Looking radiant against the green grass, the duo revealed that this was actually their very first time attending a cricket match—and they were already obsessed with the energy.
When Nqobile asked how the SA20 atmosphere fuels their artistic fire, Zee Nxumalo didn’t hold back. She shared how seeing thousands of people so intensely connected to a single moment inspires her to step out and create music that brings people together.
MaWhoo echoed the sentiment, noting that exploring new spaces and meeting new faces doesn’t just help her creativity—it supercharges it.
DANCING AT THE CREASE
It wouldn’t be a meeting of musical minds without a soundtrack.
When asked to name a song that describes their SA20 experience, MaWhoo didn't hesitate, laughing as she chose her hit “Kulula,” which sparked a spontaneous dance break that even had Nqobile joining in.
Zee Nxumalo opted for her unreleased anthem, “Thula Mabota,” (or Ayadura Amateku) explaining that she’s all about intentional energy- something the cricket crowd has in spades.
Zee also drew a beautiful parallel between her loyal fanbase, “Izinja Zami,” and the cricket supporters in the stands.
“I love the intention here,” she explained. “People are serious about backing what they believe in, just like my fans are serious about me. That loyalty is everything.”
WORDS OF WISDOM
While Zee joked about barely catching the cricket terminology, MaWhoo took a more observant approach, noting that a winning team needs focus and "know how to hold the ball" to stay at the top.
Wrapping up the day on an inspiring note, MaWhoo shared a powerful message for those chasing dreams back home, “Nothing is impossible. It’s okay to start from zero.”
She urged her fans to balance education with their passions, reminding everyone that success requires sacrifice and "sleepless nights," but if you love what you do, it’s all worth it.
