On Wednesday, 17 December 2025, the festive atmosphere at the grounds of Abraham Kriel Children’s Home will welcome one of Afrikaans music’s most versatile performers, Ruhan du Toit.

With the LiggieFees@Potch celebration running from 28 November through to 31 December, this mid-December slot offers the perfect mix of lights, music and community spirit, making Ruhan’s performance a must-see for both families and music-lovers alike.

A Legacy of Voice and Versatility

Ruhan du Toit hails from Pretoria and has been active in the South African music scene since the early 1990s. Known for his exceptional vocal range (running reportedly four octaves) and mastery of several musical instruments, Ruhan has developed a reputation for live performances that span genres from rock and country to classical and reggae.

His breakout moment included a remarkable live rendition of The Sound of Silence (originally by Simon & Garfunkel), which garnered extensive attention online. Today he is featured among the roster of accomplished Afrikaans artists, recording under major labels and performing nationwide.

Why His Set Is a Festival Highlight

LiggieFees@Potch has grown significantly as a key seasonal event in Potchefstroom, offering more than dazzling light displays; it offers live music, family-friendly activities and a philanthropic purpose supporting the children’s home.

Placing Ruhan du Toit on 17 December elevates the festival line-up:

His established status ensures a live performance of high calibre, bridging older and newer fans.
His multi-genre versatility appeals to diverse audience segments, families, young adults and Afrikaans-music devotees.
The lights-festival setting provides an enchanting backdrop to his layered vocal and instrumental artistry.

What to Expect from His Performance

From Ruhan’s recorded repertoire and live history, the 17 December slot will likely include:

A selection of his standout tracks like “Ek Hou Van”, “Kan ’n Man” and his dramatic cover of “The Sound of Silence”.
A dynamic live presence: expect storytelling, audience interaction and musical transitions that showcase both his vocals and instrumental skills.
A festival-friendly format: since the event appeals to families and is set outdoors amid the holiday-lights ambiance, the vibe will be inclusive, upbeat and accessible, not a stadium rock show but a communal celebration.
Visual and aural synergy: The luminous décor of LiggieFees will enhance the experience, Ruhan’s voice paired with shimmering lights, festive décor and a crowd primed for seasonal magic.
