Nominee struggles to find his feet
Even though things are not favourable for him, he has vowed not to throw in the towel yet, as he desperately wants to perform at the Ingoma Awards.
KABOKWENI – Crown Gospel Awards nominee, Goodman Mgibe is still struggling to go ahead with his promotional tour for his latest album and to participate in the rehearsals of the Ingoma Awards that will take place on August 27 in Cape Town. This comes after Mgibe was knocked over by a car outside his home in Lihawu last month. He was admitted to Themba Hospital where he spent almost three weeks due to a broken leg.
He was knocked down by a Somalian driver. According to police information, the driver was using someone else’s driver’s licence. Speaking to Mpumalanga News, Mgibe said he could not stand for a long time, The doctors had advised him to in stay in bed.
“I am happy that finally I’m home with my family. When the accident happened, I was preparing to embark on my promotional tour for my album, Xola Nhliziyo and participating in rehearsals for the Ingoma Awards where I will perform. I was also nominated in the best gospel album category,” he said.
Since Mgibe can’t stand, he had to perform while sitting on a chair at the revival for Pastor Mpungose last week in Barberton. He was unable to do his dance stunts.
Even though things are not favourable for him, he has vowed not to throw in the towel yet, as he desperately wants to perform at the Ingoma Awards.
“I am still not 100 per cent well, but I hope I will go to the rehearsals this week, because all the artists scheduled to perform had already started to prepare last month,” he said.
Some of the places he was supposed to visit before the awards ceremony were Bushbuckridge, Clau Clau and Polokwane. His versatility and hard work had landed him a presenting job on Soweto TV’s Late Night Show alongside Nimrod Nkosi.
