Tamia, known globally for her smooth R&B sound and timeless hits such as Still, Officially Missing You, So Into You and You Put a Move On My Heart, is returning to South Africa for her third visit since 2019.

Tamia has expressed her excitement about reconnecting with South African audiences who have consistently shown her strong support.

The tour will take place across three major venues in South Africa.
