Sophia Chese Arts Correspondent
South African gospel singer Rebecca Malope is set to perform at a one-day concert set for October 18 at Glamis Arena.
The popular diva will share the stage with United Family International Church Choir and Sebastian Magacha at the family concert.
Malope’s manager, Ross Marina, confirmed the her Zimbabwe tour.
“It is true that Rebecca will be coming for a one-day gospel concert in Zimbabwe on October 17 and will perform on the 18th,” he said.

Sonic Cities Entertainment of South Africa is working in conjuction with a local promoter to put the show in place.
Olga Grigorova of Sonic Cities entertainment said they would work with local promoters to bring more gospel artistes in the country.

“South African gospel artistes want to work with Zimbabwean musicians so we want to give them this platform. For a start, we have decided to bring Rebecca Malope since she will be launching her latest album on October 13. I think this is the best time for her and her Zimbabwean fans because she will be sampling some of her new songs on the concert,” said Grigorova.

Tickets for the show, which are going for $15 VIP and $10 the rest of the ground, will be sold at UFIC church, Econet and Telecel shops and will be available by the end of this week.

Sonic Cities Entertainment said they are also planning on a second gospel concert which will be held early next year in Harare and Bulawayo.
“We are planning on two gospel concerts that will see a number of Zimbabwean gospel artistes collaborating with SA groups next year. We want them to perfom in Zimbabwe’s two big cities, Harare and Bulawayo,” she said.
