More details about the FNB Pop Opera

Speaking about the event, FNB’s Chief Marketing Officer Faye Mfikwe said the aim is to bring the community together.

"Since we started this initiative close to three decades ago, our goal has always been clear: bring the community together and showcase homegrown talent among South Africa’s best. Last year, in addition to that, we sought to utilise the gift of music to bring hope to a province ravaged by natural disasters.
"This year, we continue our legacy and give a platform to both established and emerging artists in KZN and support the province’s creative economy. And, as we continue to shine a spotlight on the province’s incredible talent, it’s only fitting for young and vibrant artists like Sethabile, the youngest performer to grace this stage, to form part and parcel of the lineup."
