Stunning Pictures by Warren Kirkland of Sipho Mabuse at Cape Town International Jazz Festival

Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse delivered a standout performance at the 2026 Cape Town International Jazz Festival, commanding the Kippies Stage with the energy and finesse that have defined his legacy.

Known for classics like Burn Out and Jive Soweto, Mabuse blended nostalgia with fresh vibrancy, moving seamlessly between instruments as the crowd sang, danced, and clapped along.

Backing him was his long-standing band:

 Khumo Kganyago (Guitar), Bernice Boikanyo (drums), Lloyd Toto Mbele (Keyboards), Khemani Khosa (road manager), Thami Ernest Mgcina (sound engineer), and Thembeka Tabia Khumalo (Backing Vocals) musicians who have been with him for over a decade and bring depth and gravitas to his sound. 

Together, they delivered a tight, electrifying set that reaffirmed Mabuse’s status as a towering figure in South African music.

The Rand Club: Jameson Raid

The Rand Club’s history is as exclusionary as it is grand. For most of its existence, it was a bastion of white, male, British-aligned power. It was famously the “nerve center” for the Jameson Raid in 1895—a botched coup attempt against Paul Kruger’s South African Republic that served as a precursor to the devastating Second Boer War. For nearly 100 years, women were not allowed to be members, and black South Africans were permitted only as staff. The club’s refusal to modernize its membership policies led to a slow decline in the late 20th century as the “new” Johannesburg moved to Sandton. By the early 2010s, the club was facing bankruptcy, its grand halls gathering dust and its membership dwindling to a few hundred traditionalists.
