What you need for a tour is an audience.
Having been involved peripherally and centrally in the staging of a few events of varying profiles in my time I can tell you that even putting on small events costs, in time and money and while you can save some money by putting in more time in some areas, certain things require people who are not you to do stuff for which they most likely would prefer to get paid (flyer/website design/ sound rental, press pack, etc) and while you can often get shit sponsored or risk like once or twice, sponsors generally need to see Return On Investment.
So dude who gave you sound is gonna do it free now cos you homeys but he's expecting payment at some point, if your event isn't making cash after like 1st 2, he's never gonna do shit for you again.
and thats a single event.
Tours need sponsors big enough to cover transport and logistics of artists, crew and possibly sound (given the low level of infrastructure outside of major urban centers in SA, nothing can be a**umed).
You generally also need local promoters to get your marketing out, you need the right size venues and you need to know you're gonna fill the joint.
As far as hip hop in this country goes there aren't many people I can think off who're willing to drop the cash a good tour needs on any act that isn't what pa**es for A-List in SA.
So basically HHP and maybe Teargas, Jozi, JR and this Kwesta kid are the only viable vehicles for tours that'll give a sponsor ROI as far as most funders are concerned.
If I was you, I'd making sure every local gig I do is packed out before I start thinking of touring.
