JOURNEY WITH
JONATHAN
SOUTH AFRICA 2026
In 2026, Jonathan Butler returns to the land of his birth — a heartfelt homecoming, a pilgrimage of the soul.
To the streets where his journey began, where dreams rose from dust
and music bloomed amid hardship and hope.
Through trials and triumphs, he has never wavered, forever carrying South Africa in his heart — its breathtaking landscapes, its untamed wildlife, its deep-rooted heritage, and its warm, resilient people.
This is his South Africa, and he returns not just to walk its soil, but to share its story with pride.
With a love both profound and selfless, Jonathan invites you to see the country through his eyes — to feel its rhythm, to honor its struggles and its healing, and to celebrate its spirit in the only way he knows how: through story and song, offered with open hands and an open heart.

Meet the kids at Lalela Project
The word “lalela”, which is the Zulu word for “to listen”, is at the very heart of what Lalela Project does. By listening to children’s individual stories, we strive to give children a voice through art, and build children’s imagination so they can dream bigger than what their current circumstances allow. By empowering a child to see possibilities in his or her future, we can break the cycle of extreme poverty, one child at a time.
