The Eight Singers on the Bill
The venue lists eight performers: Salomé, René Johnson, Leonie le Roux, Karin Kortje, Sasha-Lee Davids, Carletheia, Jody Williams and Andrea Fortuin. Each is a familiar name on the local circuit.
Karin Kortje is the best known nationally. She won the third season of the television contest Idols in 2005, taking 65 per cent of the final vote.
Salomé makes her Soul Sisters debut this year and told the Daily Voice it “will feel like a reunion”. Andrea Fortuin, a returning performer, spoke of the value of women supporting one another on stage.
Carletheia, born Carla Trout, grew up in Athlone, Cape Town, and began singing in church choirs at about five. She also completed a teaching degree through UNISA in 2022.

GrandWest and Getting to Goodwood
GrandWest stands in Goodwood, in Cape Town’s northern suburbs, away from the city bowl and the Atlantic seaboard. The complex combines a casino, hotels, restaurants and the Grand Arena under one roof.
Most visitors arrive by car or with a ride-hailing app such as Uber or Bolt. Anyone staying in the city centre or Sea Point should plan the trip home before the show starts.
Practical Tips for Visitors and New Arrivals
Buy only through Ticketmaster or GrandWest itself. The venue says tickets from Viagogo and other secondary resellers are fraudulent, and holders will be turned away without a refund.
The concert is closed to children under 12. The casino floor has its own rule, as gambling in South Africa is limited to those aged 18 and over.
Prices in South Africa are paid in rand, and cards are widely accepted at large venues such as GrandWest. For questions on the night, the venue gives the number 021 505 7777.
What Has Not Been Announced
No doors time, running order or finishing time had been published by 27 September 2026. The band leader and the song list have not been named either.
One August radio listing named a singer called Talitha instead of Leonie le Roux. The venue page, the organisers’ release and the Daily Voice all list Leonie le Roux.
How the Night Fits the City’s Calendar
Soul Sisters Cape Town returns to the Grand Arena a year after its last edition. The 2025 show, on 27 September, was headlined by Judy Boucher and Robin S.
This year the stage belongs to local women, described by the Daily Voice as some of the city’s most recognisable voices. For newcomers, it is a direct way into the city’s own popular music.
