American R&B singer Anthony Hamilton has arrived in South Africa, much to the delight of his fans.
Spotted at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, the celebrated artist is in town to headline the Women’s Day celebrations at DP World Wanderers Stadium on August 9, an occasion that marks his commitment to empowering women and supporting local communities.
No stranger to South African shores, Hamilton, who has previously visited the country at least seven times, shared his warm reception by posting videos of his arrival and engaging with fans eager for a moment with the singer.
His time in Mzansi has not been just about business; he has taken the opportunity to immerse himself in the local culture and engage with the community.
A notable moment of his visit was when he toured Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton, where he posed with the iconic Nelson Mandela statue, referencing the late leader’s powerful words: “Do not judge me by my successes; judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.”
Hamilton also indulged in South African cuisine, enjoying a meal at a local restaurant and embracing the vibrant culinary scene that the country has to offer.
However, it is his dedication to charitable work that resonates most profoundly with his fans.
The singer shared a heartfelt video promoting cycling as a means of women’s empowerment.
In the clip, he is seen cycling through a residential area alongside a group, highlighting his desire to contribute positively to the lives of women and girls.
“It’s something that’s very dear to me," he expressed.
"My mother raised me as a parent. To witness her struggles and observe my sisters endure certain challenges, I can identify with the pains and the struggles and insecurities that some women have because of small things.
"To be a part of giving back and pouring into the confidence of a woman, the confidence of a little girl, means a lot to me because I stand here representing the men who believe in protecting, loving, and serving women."
Hamilton's heartfelt sentiments reinforce his commitment to supporting gender empowerment through his music and philanthropic initiatives.
With an exciting performance lined up for the weekend, anticipation builds amongst fans for what promises to be a memorable celebration of Women’s Day with one of R&B's most beloved artists.
