Go Explo nominated for INGOMA
Award winning gospel choir, Go Explo, is putting Tzaneen on the map both nationally and on the continent.
It is not surprising that the Greater Tzaneen Municipality’s mayor, Maripe Mangena, recently honoured them at the council’s chamber.
Their ‘From Glory to Glory’ album, won the Best Gospel Album at the 13th SABC Crown Gospel Awards last year.
This year they have been nominated in five categories in the Independent National Gospel Music Awards, famously known as INGOMA.
They have been nominated for Best Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Live Recorded DVD, Best Gospel Group and Best Gospel Collaboration.
The event will take place in Johannesburg in October.

“It motivates us to continue doing what we do, as we are not in it for monetary gain, but for the development of our community,” he explained.
They have also been nominated for the Christian Legendary And Impact Makers Awards (CLIMA) in Nigeria, which will take place on Saturday, September 25.
Shivambu said that without proper sponsorship they might not make it to the ceremony in Nigeria, but are looking forward to the INGOMA award ceremony.
He said they are currently working on uncovering new talent and on Friday, September 24, and Saturday, September 25, they will be having auditions for their next project at Hotel@Tzaneen.
