The lines are now officially open to vote for the gospel musicians nominated in any of the 20 categories in the ninth Mpumalanga Gospel Music Awards (Mgoma).
The voting lines will close on Sunday December 4, while the song of the year category will close on the day of the award ceremony on Sunday December 11.
The function will take place at the AFM Communio Church at 18:00 and will be preceded by the red carpet entrance from 16:00.
The Mgoma spokesperson, Sanele Zitha, said there are six nominations in the song of the year category, so a large number of votes are expected to come through.
“Voters may make use of the 34155 voting line. They must also look out for digital posters of their favourite artists on social media for more details on which code to use when voting,” Zitha said.
Building up to the main event, the Mgoma team has embarked on a trophy tour, which is an activation of the ceremony.
