“This will be my first time to perform in Bulawayo since I began my solo career,” he said. “I love to sing and minister in song in any place. This time it’s special because it’s home in Bulawayo and I have artists from the city whom I haven’t performed with before.”
Mlalazi said as part of his birthday celebrations, the concert will be streamed live on social media platforms, with some local radio stations following suit.
“We must expect a powerful ministry of the word of God in songs from different artists,” he said.
“I have a surprise release of a song on the day. The event will be streamed live also.”
