According to Zandile, guests can expect a diverse musical journey, with performances across genres including Amapiano, Deep House, R&B, and Gqom. Beyond the music, the event promises a mouthwatering buffet for both VIP and general access guests, showcasing Langa Res's now-famous shisanyama offerings.
Event organisers say there will be ample parking, reliable security and dedicated car guards throughout.
'We've worked hard to create a space where people can enjoy good food, quality music, and feel completely safe and relaxed,' Zandile added.
As word spreads beyond Durban, Langa Res Lifestyle has begun attracting interest from guests in Johannesburg and other provinces.
The Durban July Afterparty will be the crown jewel of this festive weekend, and organisers say they're ready to welcome the city and beyond for what's expected to be a premium, classy and memorable experience.

Gospel fraternity mourns death of renowned pastor Dr SD Gumbi
The gospel and religious community is in mourning after the death of revered pastor Dr Simon 'SD' Gumbi, affectionately known for his iconic phrase ' U-Amen Usekhona? ' He died on Monday evening after a long illness at the age of 66. Gumbi rose to prominence in the 1990s with his popular and spirit-filled sermons on Ukhozi FM's Sunday night show Unkulunkulu Nomuntu Omusha, where he ministered to millions of listeners across South Africa. His powerful voice, unwavering faith and ability to reach people's hearts earned him a loyal following both on air and in church circles. Gospel legend Sipho Makhabane expressed his heartbreak over the loss, describing Gumbi as more than just a colleague. 'I'm still coming to terms with his passing and I'm saddened by the news. I've lost a father, a brother and a mentor in the gospel fraternity. I'll remember uBaba for his full contribution to the gospel industry whether it's in singing, preaching or prayer. He always made an effort to make someone's life better. My heartfelt condolences to his family,' Makhabane told TshisaLIVE. Award-winning gospel singer Rebecca Malope also paid tribute, reflecting on the life and spiritual impact of the late preacher. 'May his soul rest in peace. He has done the Lord's work and he was trusted by the Lord in his duty. Wherever he is, the angels are embracing him. We could see he was no longer himself. All the pain he endured is no more. It's a great loss to us, the gospel fraternity at large,' Malope said. Gospel singer and pastor Jabu Hlongwane shared his own emotional memory of Gumbi, recalling their last meeting at the funeral of fellow gospel icon Zanele Mbokazi. 'I'm still trying to adjust my thinking about this sad news. When I heard of his passing, I thought who's going to be the father in our space now? He fulfilled his purpose on this earth, which was to spread the gospel. When we saw him for the last time at Zanele's funeral, it felt like a farewell. He spoke, then sang, and we all sang along with him. It was beautiful. Condolences to his family,' said Hlongwane.

Afro-pop singer AllOver I reveals musical inspirations and his new project
Afro-pop sensation Mxolisi Ngcobo, better known by his stage name AllOver I, is making waves in the local music scene with his heartfelt and socially conscious sound. The rising star recently opened up about the musical influences that shaped his journey and the powerful message behind his latest project. Speaking to TshisaLIVE, AllOver I revealed that his passion for music was sparked by international hip-hop icon 50 Cent. 'Growing up, 50 Cent's resilience and his come-up story spoke to me. His confidence and how he turned his pain into power inspired me to do the same with my story,' he said. On the home front, he draws influence from kwaito legend Zola 7, who is widely celebrated for using music as a tool for empowerment and storytelling. 'Zola 7 was that voice for the voiceless. He made us believe that no matter where you come from, your story matters. That stayed with me.' AllOver I's latest project Ukubona Abantu Abacindezelwa explores the struggles faced by everyday South Africans. The title, which loosely translates to 'seeing the oppressed people,' reflects a core theme of resilience and hope. 'The inspiration came from seeing people who are constantly beaten down by life — by poverty, by unemployment, by personal loss — but somehow they rise. Bouncing back, sophumelela as if akaze kwabheda (they succeed as if things were never bad),' he said. Blending smooth Afro-pop melodies with lyrical depth, AllOver I hopes his music will uplift listeners and spark conversations about healing and survival. 'This is for the people who keep going even when life doesn't make it easy. I want them to know I see them, and they're not alone.' With an ever-growing fan base and authentic storytelling at the heart of his music, AllOver I is a name to watch in the Afro-pop landscape.
