Whitney: The Concert for a New South Africa

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.

History
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. These would make her the first major musician to visit the newly unified, post-apartheid nation following Mandela's winning election. The concert from Johannesburg, was released on VHS in December, 1994. 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.
