AMERICAN singer, rapper, and actress Lauryn Hill thrilled fans on Sunday, 21 September
She delivered an unforgettable live performance at the DStv Delicious International Food and Music Festival.
Lauryn was joined on stage by her kids, Zion and YG Marley.
The two-day event, held over the weekend at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Gauteng, brought together music lovers to celebrate diverse sounds and cultures.
Lauryn's appearance with her talented kids was undoubtedly one of the festival's highlights, blending music and family legacy on one vibrant stage.
The iconic artist showcased not only her vocal prowess but also her deep connection to South African culture through her attire and performance.
Dressed in a striking red suit designed by South African fashion designer Thebe Magugu, Hill completed her look with the traditional Zulu women's hat called the Isicholo.

This choice of wardrobe symbolised a meaningful embrace of local heritage, resonating strongly with the festival's celebration of African identity.
The 50-year-old star is known for her seminal 1998 solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which won five Grammys.
Her kids, Zion and YG, have followed in their mum's footsteps and now have hit songs that make the crowd go wild.
During her set, Lauryn performed several of her classic hits, but a standout moment came with her rendition of Killing Me Softly.
She uniquely remixed the song by infusing it with Mzansi flair, blending the smooth melody with the infectious beats of Uncle Waffle's Zenzele.
The performance was further energised by dancers performing the popular bacardi dance, adding a lively and local vibe to the stage.
"I have two young women who live in Joburg, and we have a special version of Killing Me Softly," Lauryn said.
