In a culmination of dreams and talent, the spotlight is set to shine on Sifiso Mabuza, the victorious contestant of the Gauteng Gospel Dreams talent search. The journey that began with his triumph in July at the Crown Gospel Music Awards build-up event has led him to a momentous occasion – a joint performance with the legendary Grammy award-winning Gospel and R&B artist, Bebe Winans, at the illustrious Sunbet Arena in Pretoria tonight.
For Mabuza, this is more than a mere performance; it is a golden opportunity that comes once in a lifetime. Overflowing with gratitude, he expressed, “This is a dream come true for me. I am immensely thankful to the Gauteng government, MEC Mosupyoe, and the Crown Gospel Music Awards for this incredible chance.” Mabuza, part of the delegation welcoming Bebe Winans at OR Tambo Airport, radiated excitement as he contemplated the magnitude of the event.
Having previously showcased his vocal prowess to an 8000-strong audience at the Crown Gospel Music Awards event last month, Mabuza left an indelible mark, earning a standing ovation. The Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture, and Environment, thrilled by his talent and growth, sees this collaboration with Bebe Winans as a significant milestone in Mabuza’s burgeoning career.
The Gospel Dreams Talent Search, a debut event this year, is set to become an integral part of the Crown Awards build-up. Sifiso Mabuza, as the winner, not only secured a recording deal but also gained valuable support in the form of management, mentorship, and brand positioning. Ms Rofhiwa Nethengwe, from the Crown Gospel Music Awards, shared, “Sifiso will be recording his first single in January, and we believe more opportunities will unfold for him.”
Tonight’s performance is not just a musical celebration; it is a reflection of Sifiso’s personal journey. Rising from humble beginnings, he has triumphed over challenges through determination, hard work, and unwavering passion. His story serves as an inspiration to aspiring artists, showcasing the transformative power of music.
