Donnie McClurkin delayed

now scheduled to arrive in Zimbabwe tomorrow morning.
Donnie’s 13-member band arrived last night ahead of their concert slated for tomorrow at the Glamis Arena starting from 5:30pm. According to concert organisers, Divine Concert sound, Donnie missed his flight while sorting out his travel documents.
“There was a bit of delay in processing his passport,” a spokesperson said.
There has been much excitement surrounding the McClurkin concert. The American gospel music singer and minister was born on January 25, 1959. A strong opponent of homosexuality, he has won one NAACP Image, one Dove, three Grammy, 10 Stellar, two BET and two Soul Train awards.
When he was eight years old, his two-year-old brother was hit and killed by a speeding driver and at the night of the funeral, McClurkin’s uncle raped him.
Domestic violence and drug abuse took hold in the family. At the age of 13, McClurkin was again raped, this time by his cousin – his uncle’s son.
McClurkin found comfort through an aunt who sang background vocals with gospel musician Andraé Crouch.
After staying close to Christ throughout his boyhood, he began to play the piano and sing with his church youth choir. He formed the McClurkin Singers as a teenager, and later formed another group, the New York Restoration Choir. McClurkin was hired as an associate minister at Marvin Winans’ Perfecting Faith Church in 1989.
The Winans are a well-established family of singers who have dominated the modern gospel genre and also crossed over into soul and pop.
McClurkin served as an assistant to Winans for over a decade.
