A new gospel channel aimed at promoting Christianity in South Africa is set to debut on DStv, channel 901 this Valentine’s Day. The eagerly-awaited channel, titled Gospel Music Television (GMTV), will entice gospel music-lovers with an exciting show called Gospel Trumpet.

The 2-hour music show will be presented by popular gospel musician and Pastor, Langa Dube. In addition to writing and performing gospel songs, Dube is also a renowned motivational speaker.

“Having worked with heavyweights like Benjamin Dube, Rebecca Malope, Vuyo Mokoena and Mthunzi Numba, Langa Dube was seen as the perfect man for this job” comments GMTV’s Sane Ndlovu.

Artists with drug and alcohol weaknesses will also find some useful tips on Gospel Trumpet. “Drugs and alcohol have tainted the gospel music industry and in some areas the element of Christianity doesn’t exist. GMTV hopes to help artists to be more responsible, to enjoy greater success and to have a financially secure future.” she adds.

Gospel Trumpet will also be promoting gospel musicians through interviews and covering album launches, gospel music awards and concerts. Viewers can also look forward to movies, documentaries, competitions and other exciting features on the new channel.

Gospel Trumpet will start at 17:30 hrs. For more information, please contact Sane` at Ndlovu-Kazi Communications on 083 4959 127 or sane1@live.co.uk

It is indeed great to see people from all the walks of life coming together to honor one of the artists that contributed to lifting Gospel music higher and higher.

It is no secret that Shuping is one artist that has won many hearts with his soul touching Gospel compositions. It was his God given singing talent that made him the talk of the town and amongst other things, a great Gospel artist.
On the 24th of Sept, those behind the awards organized a special prayer service which took place at the artist’s home in Pretoria, Attridgeville. Supporting one of their own, the service was attended by about twenty five gospel artists, including Solly Mahlangu, Zodwa, Tebs Davids, Reverend Nyembe and Rebecca Malope.
There is no doubt that such a special visit has put a smile on Shuping’s face. It is great to see artists supporting each other through thick and thin. “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord,” – Romans 8:38-39.
