The legendary Dr. Rebecca Malope came out of retirement to perform on TikTok on the of Easter weekend.
She mesmerized the platform for an hour on Thursday evening.
Rebecca, who retired from the music industry in 2021, after 30 years of making a name for herself around the world, said she felt Easter was the perfect time for her to perform for those who may never have seen her before.
“Music will always form an integral part of my life. It is through the art of music that I could celebrate, mourn, travel, and take my talent to the world. I felt that Easter was the perfect opportunity for me to perform again as I get to connect with my supporters over such a special time such as Easter as well as share my art with some of those who may have never had the opportunity to see me perform before,” she said.
TikTok’s Africa Music Operations manager, Yuvir Pillay, said before the mini concert: “We are very honoured and excited to be hosting one of the world’s most celebrated music icons LIVE on our platform. This performance will mean a lot to our community as music forms a deep part of our lifeline. Live entertainment does extremely well locally on the platform, this is the case across various genres which highlights our efforts to be an all-inclusive that brings an array of music genres to our TikTok stages.”
