Whitney Houston's Epic 1994 Sa Tour To Hit Theatres Worldwide In October

The late Whitney Houston's historic 1994 South African concert following former president Nelson Mandela's landmark election, is set to hit cinemas next month.

Spearheaded by Sony Music Entertainment as well as the I Will Always Love You hitmakers estate, among others, Whitney Houston The Concert for a New South Africa Durban will be released in some countries on October 23, and in others on October 27. The South African release date has not been confirmed yet.

As part of the 30th Anniversary celebration of Houstons iconic SA concert, it will feature the never-before-released concert from her Durban performance at the Kings Park Stadium in 1994, which has been remastered in 4K and with improved audio.

At the time, Houston took to the stage in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.

These shows made the musical superstar the first major Western recording artist to perform in democratic South Africa .
