US R&B singer Joe Thomas joins Donell Jones for two-day grand opening of Ndlala Mall
Thami Ndlala is delivering on his promise with international R&B legends headlining Arcadia's most anticipated event
R&B heavyweight Joe Thomas has officially been added to the line-up for the two-day Ndlala Mall grand opening set to take place on August 22 and 23 in Arcadia, Pretoria.
The announcement was made by Thami Ndlala, the businessman behind the ambitious Ndlala Mall development, who confirmed the American crooner will headline Friday's festivities while Donell Jones will take centre stage on Saturday.
Joe, who performed in South Africa at the weekend, said he was so moved by local love that he decided to stay longer and support his friend.
'South Africa, I have a surprise for you. I'm staying to support my friend Thami Ndlala,' he said.
Joseph Lewis Thomas, known simply as Joe, is one of R&B's most loved voices. He made his debut in the early 1990s with Everything and found fame with hits including I Wanna Know, Don't Wanna Be a Player, All the Things Your Man Won't Do and the chart-topping Stutter. He's also known for his collaborations on Thank God I Found You with Mariah Carey and Still Not a Player with Big Pun.
Joe's performance is expected to set the tone for a weekend of nostalgia, luxury and entertainment in the capital.
Located in the heart of Arcadia, Ndlala Mall is a bold new chapter in the city's urban revival. The mall is directly connected to the Ndlala Oligarch Hotel and Apartments, part of a larger mixed-use lifestyle precinct developed by Thami's Ndlalayesizwe Real Estate.
Thami, who previously transformed Sterland Mall, has turned the high-traffic location into a modern destination that blends shopping, hospitality and lifestyle.
He is also the founder of Ndlalayesizwe Real Estate, a property development firm with operations in South Africa, London, and the US, and the force behind developments including Ndlala Dynasty, Ndlala Seigniory and 12 on Hillel Villa & Spa in Northcliff, Johannesburg.
