Mpumalanga Gospel Music Awards Nominees

The Mpumalanga Gospel Awards nominees have been revealed and the competition is exactly that, a competition.

Artists came out in numbers to catch the announcement live at the Pinnacle Building on Friday last week. “The turnout is so amazing it’s scary. Artsis have come out in support of the initiative and I am really proud of them.

We call upon the province to keep voting for their favourites,” said event organiser, Sandile Ngobe. Here are the artists and categories for the Mpumalanga Gospel Music Awards.
