Gospel singer gives God glory with two new singles
Local gospel singer and songwriter, Cleopatra Ntombikayise Ncongwane (26), has released two singles of her debut album.

The songs, titled “Kungenxa Yomusa Wakho” and “Tlo Moya” were released under The Grid Media Empire on December 10 at the Thee Space, Nedbank Complex. Both are available across all digital stores and streaming services.
According to The Grid Media Empire, Ncongwane, better known as Cleo N, was born in Mashishing.
She hails from a family well-versed in praise and worship. Her late father was a pastor and her mother a singer. She inherited both parents’ traits, and her gifts made her win chorus leader accolades at school almost every year.
Ncongwane started singing as a hobby at Kwaguqa Primary School in Witbank at the tender age of seven.
She is part of the the praise and worship team at Alliance Praise in Mashishing and has been part of the Peculiar Vessels of Worship in Middelburg.
In July 2018, she achieved her greatest milestone by winning SABC 2’s small-town talent contest, Showville. In the same year she became active in music and shared the stage with gospel heavyweights like Lebo Sekgobela, Thina Zungu and many other artists at the annual TMM birthday weekend.

Ncongwane thanked her spiritual parents, Apostle Thoko and Pr Nonyane, Hope of Nations Family Church, her family, friends and the community at large for the support they have given her.
She also thanked her band, Wisani Malesa, Shadow Maake, Godney Mkansi, Abdul kharim Mohammad and her backing vocalists, Pamela Nkambule, Sandile Nkosi and Sindiswa Nkosi for helping to make this project successful.
“Ministering in music is my gift from God. I am ready to let Him use me to impact people’s lives. And I can’t wait for the world to receive what God has placed inside me.”
Ncongwane’s friend, Patience Sibande, said the genre she had picked suits her. “She is doing outstandingly in her music career. I have known her for a quite a long time. She enjoys gospel music. I always knew she would make it.”
