“This is now something we’ve talked about doing for years, and with an ever-increasing support base, and a great opportunity for partnership with Thobela FM and other stakeholders, we knew the time was right,” said Ziyaphenduka’s CEO and founder, Bruce Kgapane.

“The show is styled to give gospel lovers a once-in-a-lifetime experience to watch and listen to these incredibly talented performers in action, but the addition of Benjamin Dube, Solly Mahlangu, Dr Tumi and Winnie Mashaba to this show has already become the hottest-selling ticket in Ziyaphenduka history. We have seen the highest-selling advance sales in our history with this show, and the numbers grow every day.

“We’re very much looking forward to welcoming large and enthusiastic crowds to this show, that already has us bursting into tears laughing, and clapping along to these amazing musicians. It is not difficult to see why tickets are already selling like hotcakes. Nine top musicians and many emerging gospel artists are scheduled to belt it out from noon to midnight.

“We could not be more excited for this show, and just can’t wait to get it in front of an audience. This show is going to blow people away, and we are thrilled to be able to offer this whole experience for R300, which is the equivalent to just a show to watch Dr Tumi and Benjamin Dube,” he said.

Kgapane said their incredible sponsor support base, and the recent volume of ticket sales have allowed them to keep their costs down and continue to fulfill their mandate of creating events that are affordable and accessible for all. And similar to previous events, Kgapane has emphasised that the safety and security of patrons and making the occasion a lifetime experience for them will again be their top priorities. Kgapane encouraged families to buy tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

“Besides getting tickets from Computicket, fans can also get them from Shoprite and Checkers across the country. I appeal to fans to grab their tickets as soon as possible, because the venue can only accommodate a limited number of people. For safety reasons, we will not sell more than the venue can accommodate,” said Kgapane.
