Rising Star Giselle Niemand to Share the Stage with South Africa’s Biggest Names at Joburg Zoo Mothers’ Day Concert
Sixteen-year-old singing sensation Giselle Niemand is set to make a remarkable appearance at this year’s highly anticipated Mothers’ Day Concert at the iconic Johannesburg Zoo, where she will perform alongside some of South Africa’s most celebrated music stars.
Taking place on Sunday, 10 May 2026, the event promises a spectacular celebration of music, family, and culture, with Giselle sharing the stage with powerhouse artists including Ami Faku, The Soil, Matthew Mole, LaSauce, Chubby Cheeks, Bongi Archi, Phoebe Mxgagi, as well as renowned conductor Richard Cock and the Phoenix Orchestra.
For many young artists, sharing a platform with such established names would be a dream. For Giselle Niemand, it is another major step in a career that continues to gain momentum both locally and internationally. Despite her young age, Giselle has already captivated audiences in countries including the United States, South Africa, and Dubai, earning recognition for her commanding vocals, confidence on stage, and natural ability to connect with audiences.
Her inclusion in a line-up filled with award-winning and nationally recognised performers reflects the growing belief that she is one of the country’s promising young talents to watch.
The concert itself offers a unique experience unlike any other in Johannesburg. Set within the historic Johannesburg Zoo, guests will enjoy live music performances surrounded by nature and more than 300 animal species in one of the world’s few urban zoos offering a Big 5 experience.
Families attending the event can also enjoy attractions such as the Animals of the Amazon exhibit, guided heritage tours, picnic areas beneath the Zoo’s leafy trees, and a vibrant SMME market supporting local businesses and creators.
As Giselle Niemand prepares to step onto a stage shared by some of South Africa’s biggest stars, the Mothers’ Day Concert is expected to become yet another defining moment in the young performer’s rapidly rising journey in the entertainment industry.
Tickets are available via Webtickets and at the gate.
