South African gospel musician Solly Moholo known for his prolific traditional gospel music will perform at the second annual New Year’s Eve Gospel Festival at the Pretoria National Botanical Gardens in South Africa on 7 January 2023.Moholo will perform alongside gospel stars Takie Ndou, Sbu Noah, Puleng March, Putuma Tiso, Bucy Radebe, Omega Khunou and Sipho Ngwenya.They will be joined by other artists including Nhlanhla Sibisi, Tshidi Chauke, Caleb Melo, Pinkie Petja, Minah Rams, Paul K, Keboletše Molokwane, Psalmist Sefako, and more.The festival’s organiser and gospel artist Mosa Cofindence Maake said the vision for the event goes beyond music.“For me, first, as an artist, the vision is to create opportunities for me and others. Secondly, as an organiser, it is to create a space where artists worship with and entertain their fans while promoting their music,” Maake said.The vibrant event was founded by gospel music enthusiasts after seeing the need to start the year on a high note.Solomon Molokoane, Moholo is widely known as the king of mokhukhu gospel music.The musician blends traditional rhythms with a backing choir. Moholo has more than 20 albums under his belt and several sold-out concerts in South Africa.Moholo is a member of the Zion Christian Church and a popular live performer known for his trademark ZCC uniform and ‘mokhukhu jive’.As a talent scout and producer, he has helped upcoming artists like Winnie Mashaba and Johannes Mamabolo.After being off the radar for a long time, the gospel and Mkhukhu star dropped his new single titled ‘Ntate Ake SaSepela’, and he hopes to reignite his career and reconnect with his fans.“It’s been a while since I was on stage. I’m now in a good state to shake things up with my new sound. With this amapiano song, I want to be closer to the young people in the country. It’s not just an amapiano song, it has a message for young people to do the right things. I just want young people to have control over their lives. They must have a vision like their parents used to have,” he said.The singer said he would also be helping the needy through his Solly Moholo Foundation and also raise funds to help the Durban families affected by the floods. “I will be raising funds to help people living with disabilities and the needy. We will be travelling around the country and giving back to communities.”ALSO READ Co-founder Of South African Satanist movement Publicly Severes Ties With Group
