MTC Hope Concert postponed to September

UNWRAP.ONLINE NAMIBIAN gospel lovers will have to wait a little longer for the much-anticipated MTC 081Every1 Hope Concert, which MTC has postponed to 4 September.

The concert was scheduled for 2 July, but had to be moved due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

“The postponement was necessitated by various Covid-related and logistical factors.

“But we would like to assure the nation the concert will indeed take place as it is meant to give the country hope in these difficult times,” MTC chief of human capital and corporate affairs Tim Ekandjo says.

“Covid-19 has affected and continues to affect us in different ways. Some have lost relatives, friends, jobs or have experienced salary cuts, and the numbers are on the rise. With this concept, we are saying we must never lose hope. As a nation, the challenges we are faced with too shall come to pass. But for now, let us keep safe and fight this enemy,” he says.

The concert line-up remains as earlier announced at the launch, with 17 performances, including Namibian and South African gospel singers.

Gospel ambassadors like Vuuyo, Pride, Franklin and Dee’A, Rodney Seibeb, Maranatha, Joharetha, Elizabeth, Manda Gabriel, Effy-Otjimbundu, Ayanda Ntanzi, Benjamin Dube, Buci Radebe and the Nam Gospel United will feature.

Clive and the Now Generation choir, the Collective Gospel choir, Vox Vitae and the Vocal Reflection choir will also grace the stage.
