It was a moment to savour for South African singing sensation Pretty Yende as she performed on arguably one of the biggest platforms of her career.

Yende performed during the coronation of King Charles III and her performance was so powerful.

For her historic moment as the first African to perform a solo at the coronation of a British monarch, the 38-year-old opera singer from Piet Retief in Mpumalanga undoubtedly looked like “the place where the sun rises”.

She definitely put South Africa on the global stage as her breathtaking performances really ignited the crowd.

She was also humble enough to thank the crowd for showing her support when she needed the support the most.

“Thank you so much to each and everyone for all your joyful, generous and celebratory wishes and messages… Your support means so much to me… Today, for me, will go down in the history.”

That mesmerizing performance definitely put the superstar on top of the global stage and she willost likely be attracting some top invites in the near future.
