The Crown Gospel Music Awards have made an announcement that they are having a change in venue and bidding farewell to their flagship venue, the Durban ICC for their 16th year.
Morakane Mosupyoe, the Gauteng MEC for Sport, Arts, Culture And Recreation received a symbolic ‘crown’ sealing the deal to stage the Crown Gospel Music Awards on the 26th of November 2023.
Zanele Mbokazi-Nkambule, who is the founder and executive producer of the Crowns, thanked the KZN government and eThekwini municipality for supporting the Crowns in the past 15 years.
“We are grateful to both the KZN provincial government and Durban Tourism for supporting us for 15 years. The Crowns are a national project, as such, we are excited to be moving to Gauteng”.
Expressing Gauteng’s excitement over the awards relocation, adding hopes for the Crown to be around for the next seven years, Mosupyoe said: “This is a perfect home for the awards, which has given breakthroughs to many creatives. We want to see both the awards and the Gospel music genre grow from strength to strength, and we would like to keep these awards for at least seven years, that is if the World Gospel PowerHouse agrees.”
A lot of Mzansi gospel powerhouses such as Dr Rebecca Malope, Omega, Sipho Makhabane, Solly Mahlangu, Dumi Mkokstad, Canaan Nyathi, Nqubeko Mbatha, Takie Ndou, Teboho Moloi, Xolisa Kwinana, Betusile Mcinga were in attendance, as well as others who took to the stage to sing and celebrate the move.
