A gospel musician has various projects coming up with the aim to bring his music to the rest of South Africa and neighbouring countries.
The “Jehovah ushay’ihlabekisa ngami” hit-maker and multi-award-winning gospel musician, Sfiso Shongwe, also known as Sfiso S, has great projects lined up for his music lovers.
He released his sixth studio album, titled Wangshaya nge Surprise, in July.

“The tour, called Sfiso S to the People, will commence in Limpopo in September and travel through the province leading to Mpumalanga and the rest of the country. I am also planning to host a live recording of my popular songs from all my albums, called The Best of Sfiso S.”
He said his new album has been well received in the gospel music scene, and Mpumalangans have showed him great support. “The album has 10 songs, and so far, the most loved one is the title track, ‘Wangshaya nge Surprise’.
