Public urged to vote for their favourite gospel artist
The Mpumalanga Gospel Music Awards is well underway and artists are already urging people to vote. All the categories have been announced and the work has begun.
According to the founder, Sandile Ngobe, artists really need to work harder as the nominees are very good.
“It’s very tough this year, these artists are really good and they understand their art very well. I would advise them to start campaigning for votes as soon as now, that’s if they haven’t yet started.
Mpumalanga has grown in terms of talent exposure and the overall quality of music the province produces, which is what we basically want to award,” said Ngobe.
