Empowering the next wave at ACCES 2026
At ACCES 2026, hosted across vibrant cultural hubs including the Pretoria CBD and 012 Central, SAI HLE will bring their unique perspective as independent-minded creators navigating the global music market.
As part of a premier continental platform designed to foster exchange, collaboration, and industry growth, the sisters are expected to share invaluable insights on the mechanics of building a successful musical partnership, maintaining creative integrity, and breaking into international markets.
For musicians, managers, publishers, and festival programmers gathered at the conference, hearing from artists who have successfully transitioned from underground features to major festival mainstays offers a masterclass in modern music entrepreneurship.
As SAI HLE prepares for their upcoming panel contributions and live showcases, Mzansi’s favourite soul sisters continue to prove that authentic sisterhood and undeniable talent make an unstoppable combination.
