Vow spreads a message of hope through music
The group faced difficult times during the lockdown because the music sector was severely impacted.
As the country rebuilds and people are learning to live under the new normal, many are still faced with fear and anxiety of the unknown.
Gospel group Vessels of Worship (Vow) is aiming to become the calm in the midst of the storm by spreading hope through their music.
“Covid-19 rocked the world. We want to send a message of hope and belief that we can overcome this obstacle,” said Zanele Mashinini, public relations officer for Vow.
The group faced difficult times during the lockdown because the music sector was severely impacted.
“The choir had to delay plans of releasing our official album due to the inability to do tours and live shows to promote it. We moved it to next year,” said Zanele.
But the group members never lost sight of their goal to give hope.
“During lockdown, we interacted with our fans and supporters via our Facebook page,” said Zanele.

The choir hosted a concert streamed live shortly after level one was announced.
“Even though the concert had no live audience, we encouraged people to watch and enjoy. We wanted them to know they are not alone and music connected us,” said Zanele.
The group was founded by James Sitoe and Sakhile Hlatshwayo in 2019 and includes members from across Ekurhuleni.
The group writes its own music. Their style in music ranges from contemporary and jazz to traditional.
