MULTI-AWARD-WINNING gospel singer Everton Mlalazi says the annual Zimbabwe Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) choir’s Celestial Chorus Tour is evolving into a powerful cross-border celebration of faith, unity and worship.
Speaking to NewsDay Life & Style ahead of the much-anticipated concert set for tomorrow at the Big Top Arena Carnival in Johannesburg, Mlalazi said the event continued to grow to a spiritual and musical gathering that attracts gospel lovers from across the region.
The concert is free of charge, courtesy of the Bridging Gaps Foundation, led by businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei and his wife Sandra, who have covered all associated costs.
“The Celestial Chorus Tour has become more than just a musical showcase. It is now a platform that unites worshippers and gospel music enthusiasts through uplifting and inspiring performances,” he said.
“I am happy to be back in Mzansi for this annual event, sharing the stage with a star-studded line-up of talented artistes known for delivering unforgettable gospel experiences.”
Mlalazi said the foundation’s support ensures accessibility for all.
