Redefining gospel music
Gospel artist Ndiafhi Mboneni (27) from Van Dyk Park, has just released her second album titled Tshebeletso Ya Modimo (the works of God).
The album has already sold over a 1 000 copies.
Mboneni’s first album encouraged people to draw closer to and know God, while she now focuses on the good works of God.
She defines the type of gospel music that she sings as traditional and says it also has elements of Zion music.
“The problem today is that young people are living destructive lives and don’t understand the meaning of gospel.
“My music accommodates both young and old people, and through my music, I want to bring people closer to God,” she says.
“Gospel music speaks to people spiritually, and it’s a way of letting people know that there’s a God,” she explains.
Mboneni performs in and around Boksburg, but will also be going to Limpopo, North West, Free State, Mpumalanga and Botswana this year.
“When people listen to my music, I want them to be motivated in God’s wonderful works, and gain the strength that they need to face life,” she says.
Her musical inspiration is gospel legend Oleseng Shuping, but she also looks up to Winnie Mashaba who is also respected in the South African gospel music scene.
She plans on releasing another album next year.
To celebrate 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children, which starts on November 25, Mboneni will be performing to raise awareness at the following venues:
* Daveyton Mall – November 27.
* Shoprite (Boksburg) – December 5.
* Chris Hani Mall (Vosloorus) – December 9.
