Carnival City plays host to fifth annual Business Premium Gospel festival



Much anticipated year after year, the final leg of Business Premium Weekend 2017 takes place at Carnival City’s Big Top Arena on 12 August.  The Business Premium Gospel Festival features the top names in the South African Gospel music industry and promises to be a powerful night of praise and worship.  “This event is back by popular demand and we are thrilled to be hosting these artists all on one stage in one electrifying night”, says Michelle Smith, Carnival City’s Marketing Manager.
Multi-award winning gospel producer and former Joyous Celebration music director Nqubeko Mbatha takes to the stage at Business Premium Gospel in yet another inspiring performance fans have enjoyed over the years. Musician, gospel singer, producer and profound songwriter, Mbatha studied and mastered music and has certainly become a force to be reckoned with. He boasts three solo musical accolades and several nominations and has worked as a musical director for the TV shows “I Want To Sing Gospel” and “Gospel Classics” and has played for the likes of  Mafikizolo, Malaika, Joyous Celebration and several others. 

Set to join Nqubeko on stage is Ntokozo Mbambo, multi award-winning gospel artist and one of South Africa’s leading ladies in gospel.  Born and raised by worshipers, recording her first album at just 14 years of age and joining Joyous Celebration at the age of 15, she progressed from being a member, to a lead singer, voice coach and eventually a songwriter. 15 years in the music industry has secured Mbambo numerous awards including SAMA awards, Crown Gospel Awards and an Africa Gospel Music Award. Fans can expect nothing less than another awe-inspiring performance by this top artist.

The Worship House ensemble from Limpopo, famous for singing in Zulu, Tsonga, Sotho and even in Shona,despite having Venda roots, add to the atmosphere of the Business Premium Gospel Festival.  Featuring discovered solo talents such as Lufuno Dagada and Makwena Nkosi, this group promises goose-bump moments not to be forgotten.

Finally, completing the exciting line-up of artists is the one and only, SAMA nominee - Lebo Sekgobela. This self-made musician has won the hearts of South Africans with her fifth album Restored, which has sold about 90 000 copies in five months. With hits such as “Ntate Lerato La Hao”, “O Morati Ya Nthatang, Sefapanong Ke Bohang”, and “Theko Ya Lona” which are all inspiring and delivered with emotional precision, Sekgobela is an artsist not to be missed.

Come and enjoy this gospel spectacular alongside somewhat 3 800 other gospel-lovers at Carnival City’s Big Top Arena on 12 August.  Be sure to get there nice and early, doors open at 17h00.  Tickets are available from Computicket, Shoprite, Checkers and House & Home ranging from R235 to R395 per person, whilst R 585 gets you your VIP pass.
