Known as Igeza lengoma [loosely translated music fanatic], gospel artist Unathi Ndzube will launch her third studio album, Praise and Worship Chapter 2 at Lovedale College in King William’s Town on Saturday.
Her latest offering is a sequel to Praise and Worship Chapter 1.
But the artist of Iyasebenza lento ka Thixo fame describes the album as being filled with testimony of how she got through her adversities.
Ndzube shares that she was hijacked at gunpoint by six men on her way back from work.
The hijackers did not harm her but left her stranded on the side of the road.
The car was recovered.
While the car had just been recovered, she went through a financial crisis that led to all her household possessions being repossessed.
Adding to her woes, she fell into deep depression and was bedridden for 11 months.
She said as she laid in bed, worn out, and feeling defeated, she believed God would heal her.
“I was down and out and wanted to quit but God has helped me through it all,” she told the Daily Dispatch.
Through her new album, she said she was sending a strong message of hope for other people who are having problems.
The message is clear: “They should trust God will help them through all their challenges.”
Ndzube will be sharing the stage with other artists such as Gospel Crown Award winners Bethusile Mcinga and Phuthuma Tiso and many other local artists. Doors will open at 11.30am and tickets are R100 at all Silulo Technologies in East London and King William’s Town...
