Multi-award-winning Gospel musician Everton Mlalazi is on cloud nine after receiving his first eSwatini National Gospel Awards nomination.
The awards are scheduled for November 8 at Esibayeni Lodge in Matsapha, Swaziland.
The ceremony aims to be a beacon of celebration for Eswatini and African Gospel artistes, providing a crucial platform to promote and uplift Gospel talent across the kingdom and the continent.
Mlalazi is nominated for Best of Africa Artiste alongside South Africans Sbu Noah and Andile KaMajola, Easter Igbelege (Nigeria), Nothando Hlophe (Swaziland), Cornel Grace (Cameroon), Musa John Haroun (South Sudan) as well as Edson (Mozambique).
Upon his nomination, Mlalazi said he is humbled and grateful for the recognition.
“I am honestly still in shock. To be recognised on a continental stage like this is something I never imagined. I am grateful to God for the gift and grateful to my followers for their support.
I am deeply humbled by this gesture – just the nomination alone is huge and enough reason to be grateful,” said Mlalazi.
