After six months abroad, the Johannesburg-born singer wasted no time satisfying her cravings.

South Africa’s pop darling, Tyla Laura Seethal – just Tyla to us – is back on home turf.

After sprinkling her magic across the globe with her killer voice and Waterhit, Tyla has cemented her spot as one of Mzansi’s finest exports.

Her highly anticipated return kicked off with two major concerts: one in Cape Town on 5 December and another at the SunBet Arena, Time Square, Menlyn, on 7 December.

After six months abroad, the Johannesburg-born singer wasted no time satisfying her cravings. During the first concert after her return, she revealed her first stop back home wasn’t a fancy restaurant or a cosy café; it was Chicken Licken. Proving that some tastes just hit differently, she made it clear that no international cuisine could rival the comfort of her favourite local spot.

“Guys, as soon as I got home I went to the Chicken Licken line… got some hot wings and sliders. You know the story,” she shared.
