I would like to thank God for blessing us with Zanele Mbokazi, the founder of SABC Crown Gospel Music Awards, I feel the Ceremony was well organised and presented. As the President said “Gospel music is different from any other music, it speaks to God”, I agree with his statement. Thank you so much sis Zanele. To all Gospel musicians, you are great guys, I really appreciate what you doing in our lives, you deserve to be celebrated. Sis Veliswa, I was so crossing fingers for you on Sunday my sister, but anyway I want you to know that to God, you are not just one of the nominees but you are already a winner just by touching our lives through your music, uyasibusisa sisi kakhulu. Please keep on working hard and I know one day you will grab that Crown.
Stay blessed, I love you all

i think our Gospel musicians are doing well, its good to sing some of the songs we are used to and also wriye new songs. The likes of Benjamin, Keke and others have proven over and over that its not about a new song but about how the gospel msg has been presanted to us, so Zanele well done Crown gospel awards rocks!

Almost all of the things you mention is supprisingly accurate and it makes me wonder why I hadn’t looked at this in this light before. This particular piece really did turn the light on for me as far as this particular subject goes. But there is actually one particular factor I am not too comfy with so whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the core theme of your issue, allow me see just what all the rest of your subscribers have to say.Well done.
