South Africa’s Shekhinah Donnell pulled a massive crowd over the weekend at her debut concert in Harare during this month’s edition of Unplugged. The “Suited” singer put fans into a frenzy with her hour-long set in which she belted most of her hits including “Different” featuring Mariechan, “Please Mr” and “Back To The Beach”, a collaboration with Kyle Deustch.

Shekhinah sealed off her flawless act with “Suited”, proudly an anthem at Unplugged, the monthly live concerts focusing on young talents.

She kept the crowd of over 3 000 fans who thronged ZB Bank Sports Club up on its feet while singing along to her music.
Shekhinah, who turns 24 next month, effortlessly delivered a memorable act.

There was a touch of class, talent and the perfect sound made the night one to remember.
Earlier in an interview backstage, Shekhinah said she was pleased to be in Zimbabwe for the first time.

“It feels great to be in Zimbabwe which is one of the most talked about countries in Africa,” she said in reference to geopolitical situation.
