United Kingdom-based Zimbabwean gospel singer, Eleana Makombe, is riding a wave of success following four nominations in the upcoming Ezekiel Guti Legacy Awards.
Makombe, who has garnered a significant following, will be among the nominees for the prestigious awards ceremony scheduled for May 3 at the Braeside Zaoga Church in Harare.
The singer has received nominations in four categories, including Best Gospel Artist, Best Music Video, Best Song, and People’s Choice.
This recognition is a significant milestone in Makombe’s career, and her presence at the event will undoubtedly be highly anticipated by fans.
She faces stiff competition from well-known Zaoga gospel artists such as Sir Benjamin Rupapa, Fungisai Zvakavapano-Mashavave, Vocal Base, Probity Mutsambiwa, Pastor Lavy Mlilo, and Melissa Makwasha.
The awards aim to honour Zimbabweans who are members of Zaoga Forward in Faith across the globe, and voting has already commenced.
In an interview, Eleana shared her surprise at the nominations, stating, “I would say this is God and thank you for the nomination.”
She urged her fans to participate in the voting process, saying, “I encourage and urge my fans to start voting so we bring the gongs home.”
Eleana returned to Zimbabwe last week for the Easter celebrations, performing at the Resurrection Rhapsody held at Glamis Arena, where she delivered a captivating performance.
She emphasised that her trip was not a holiday but a continuation of her music career.
“I came back not for holiday but it’s music business as usual as I have started rehearsals for the Grateful concert scheduled for May 31 in the United Kingdom,” she noted.
With her band based full-time in Zimbabwe, Eleana expressed gratitude for their support as she prepares for her upcoming projects.
