Their last show for 2021 is at the Kalk Bay Theatre in Cape Town on Saturday, 11 December. Join these strong glamorous women with their powerful voices and beautiful harmonies as they give you a fun night of entertainment and memories.
The trio, Sthe Mfuphi - Diva of Soul, Bulelwa Bee Cosa-Sakayi and Michelle Thomas, works hard and readers will remember them as singing the South African national anthem for the first Springbok and British and Irish Lions test this year.
I caught up with the Tons, as they are affectionately known, last week:
Looking forward. We are positive people and we try and see the best in everything. We try and create positivity whenever we go on stage and make people feel good.
Being known or talked about by many people for a notable achievement.
Our voices can’t manage anymore.
Small change areas... Three large ladies trying to put on lashes in a small space is a struggle to behold!
This is what we do. Music is our lives, there is no plan B.
Everyday things and making people smile.

Adele.
We love that we give people a good time… Life is very serious and it is wonderful to see people shake off their troubles and get up and dance.
Our new single, Mmmmh. Audiences love the track.
We have been together for nearly 15 years, so we are good at anticipating when one of us falters with lyrics or comes in at the wrong time, but we have had some strange audience members over the years hop onto stage, which is always fun.
Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Miriam Makeba and Brenda Fassie.
Aretha Franklin.
We are Trevor Noah fans! He set himself a goal, plotted a path and set out on a journey… Such an inspiration!
Our voices.
The drink of divas, champagne, of course!
Madison Square Garden, Wembley Stadium and a packed O2 Arena in London.
We love life. We have big hair, big voices and positive personalities.
Saxy Sthe, Mysterious Michelle and Beautiful Bee.
Viola Davis, Jennifer Hudson and Queen Latifah. Strong ladies with a positive “don’t mess with me” attitude.
Entertaining, Fun loving, creative, kind and hardworking.
Brenda Fassie - Legends
Mango Groove - Home talk
Miriam Makeba - Goodbye to Africa
Black Coffee - Africa Rising
Hugh Masekela - No borders
R.E.S.P.E.C.T by Aretha Franklin.
We love our families, our children, our extended families and our fans - we have a core of unbelievable fans.

In the olden days!
Our afro’s and lashes.
“Asidanse” - Let’s party.
Gigs, gigs and more gigs!
Surviving Covid-19!
Changing in small places… Oh my!
When load shedding strikes in the middle of a gig.
Sound technicians who are ready for our soundcheck.
Have fun!
This Covid-19 pandemic has taught us that tomorrow is not guaranteed.
Not really big into sports, but we became big rugby fans in 2019 singing at fan events around the Rugby World Cup and in 2021, we performed the national anthem ahead of the first British and Irish Lions match this year in Cape Town.
We want our new single, Mmmmh!, to do very well and be the hit of summer!
We choose different projects during the year that we support by performing at minimum charge. We all have different issues that are close to our heart but we have done some memorable events with the Cansa association, Ikamva Labantu and Cape Town Pride.
That we come through this pandemic wiser!
