Rorisang Sechele is preparing for her performance at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival. As one of South African top vocalists, her appearance at the festival marks an important milestone in her career.

Ahead of the festival, Sechele has spoken about her creative journey and audiences expectations. She sees music as a form of storytelling that reflects real emotions and identity. This approach allows her to connect with listeners in a meaningful way. She said:

Rorisang Sechele:Instagram

To me, being fearless in music means having the courage to be completely honest and unapologetic. It is about showing up as my full, authentic self, without hiding behind expectations or trends. Fearlessness is choosing to trust my instincts, even when the path feels uncertain or is the road less taken, and allowing my truth to lead the creative process.”

She blends jazz with soul, African rhythms, and contemporary sounds, as in her album ‘The Seed’. She believes that being open and emotionally honest is what allows artists to produce powerful music. According to her, courage in music means sharing personal truths even when uncomfortable. This view has defined how she performs and connects with audiences.

Tems has announced the South African edition of her Leading Vibe Initiative (LVI), a programme supporting emerging women in music. The event is scheduled for 21 March 2026, with applications closing at the end of February.

The initiative was first launched in Lagos in August 2025, where it worked with Nigerian producers and songwriters. A second edition followed in Nairobi. South Africa is now the next host country as the programme expands its reach across the continent.

The South African edition is open to female artists, songwriters and producers aged between 18 and 35. Participants will take part in workshops, mentorship sessions and networking opportunities focused on songwriting, music production and the business side of the industry.

Sessions will cover production processes, songwriting development and music business fundamentals. Technology company Native Instruments will provide production hardware and software during the programme.

Tems – Instagram

Women remain underrepresented in music production and executive roles globally, including in Africa. The initiative is designed to offer practical training and industry access to help address this imbalance.

Tems has previously spoken about building her career without formal mentorship, learning the technical and business aspects of music independently. She has described the initiative as an extension of that experience, aimed at giving other women access to structured support and professional networks.

The programme is backed by Hennessy, which has supported previous editions.

South Africa’s music industry spans genres including amapiano, hip-hop, jazz and R&B, with women increasingly visible as performers. However, production and executive spaces remain less accessible. The Leading Vibe Initiative’s local edition is expected to focus on strengthening skills and expanding industry connections for participants.

Applications are currently open ahead of the March event.
