What was the name of Whitney Houston's 1994 concert special that aired on HBO?

Whitney Houston’s 1994 HBO concert special was titled “Whitney: The Concert for a New South Africa.” It documented Houston’s performances in South Africa during November 1994, shortly after Nelson Mandela’s election and the country’s transition out of apartheid.

Houston performed three concerts as part of the Bodyguard World Tour: at Kings Park Stadium in Durban on November 8, Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg on November 12, and Green Point Stadium in Cape Town on November 19. Together, the shows drew more than 200,000 people.

The concerts carried an important political and charitable meaning. Houston was among the first major international musicians to perform in the newly unified South Africa, and proceeds were donated to South African charities, including children’s organizations, orphanages, and the President’s Trust Fund.

The Johannesburg performance was released on VHS in December 1994, while the televised presentation circulated under related names such as Whitney Houston—Live in South Africa. Those alternate labels can cause confusion, but the canonical title associated with the concert special is “Whitney: The Concert for a New South Africa.”
