MBABANE – “This win means more than just a milestone to me, it is a reminder of God’s faithfulness, the power of consistency and the love that people continue to show towards my ministry. I am humbled beyond words.”
This was the comment from Gospel singer, Nothando Hlophe, after she was honoured with the Best of Africa Award at the Crown Gospel Awards, held on Sunday at the Durban International Convention Centre (ICC) in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Hlophe added that her biggest takeaway from this moment is that when God ordains a path, no effort is ever wasted.
“Every prayer, every rehearsal, every tear and every step of obedience builds up to something beautiful. I am also reminded that the people He places around us, supporters, family and my incredible team are part of the blessing.”
She concluded: “Thank you so much for the love and for walking this journey with me. This victory belongs to all of us, and above all, to God.”
