Friends and colleagues of Zanele Mbokazi have responded swiftly by organising an evening prayer event after learning that the Ukhozi FM presenter is in a critical condition. The Crown Gospel Music Awards founder and executive producer has been diagnosed with lung cancer.
Mbokazi’s husband, Bishop Mpendulo Nkambule, shared the news on Ukhozi FM in May after speculations about her health became rife on social media following her absence from her radio show.
On Friday, close friends and key players in the gospel industry will gather at the Sandton Assemblies of God Church in Sunninghill, Johannesburg, to pray for the media personality.
One of the event organisers and wife of gospel singer Soso Maholwana told Sunday World that the industry planned the prayer event for Mbokazi, who is in a critical condition. She needs our prayers. It is not an easy journey, honestly speaking. She really needs our prayers,” said Maholwana.
“You know how much she contributed to the community; why are we not there for her when she needs us? That is why we initiated this. Even Bishop Nkambule said she needs prayers.”
Maholwana said she was touched when she heard about Mbokazi’s ill-health through an announcement by her husband on the radio.
“I know her from the Crown Gospel Music Awards, in which I participated as an artist. Upon hearing the news, my family and I started engaging in prayers for Mam’ Zanele.
“As I was praying, it was pressed in my spirit that we need to organise a corporate prayer, comprising all christian organisations, churches, and gospel music artists,” she said. The prayer service is set to start at 4pm and will carry on until 8pm. Some of the expected guests at the event are Pastor Benjamin Dube, Solly Mahlangu, Sipho Makhabane, and Rebecca Malope. Metro FM host Thami Ngubane is expected to be the MC for the night.
