# The Nelson Mandela University says its Isisusa Jazz Fest Concert 2025 was a multilingual celebration of music and heritage. More than 140 performers filled the stage at the Feather Market Centre in a programme designed to echo the country’s diverse voices. This year’s theme, Mqhayi Meets Mandela, explored how isiXhosa poet S.E.K. Mqhayi helped shape Nelson Mandela’s sense of purpose through language and performance. A few standout performances included the men’s vocal quartet, The Creed, Jazz quartet Moment’s Notice and the Nelson Mandela University Choir.
