Whitney - The Concert for a New South Africa (alternately titled Whitney Houston – Live in South Africa, Whitney Houston - Concert for South Africa) was the title of three concerts which American singer Whitney Houston performed in South Africa to honor President Nelson Mandela in November 1994.[1]
Houston's first ever performances in South Africa were at Kings Park Stadium in Durban on Nov. 8 and final one at Green Point Stadium in Cape Town on Nov. 19.[2] These would make her the first major musician to visit the newly unified, post-apartheid nation following Mandela's winning election.[3] The concert from Johannesburg, was released on VHS in December, 1994.[1] All proceeds from the event were donated to South African charities including two children's museums, the President's Trust Fund, the Kagiso Foundation and several orphanages.[1][4]
