The event and the relaunch is part of her strategy to generate a new Germiston-based fan base.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I started singing professionally, my husband Bishop Justin, who also happens to be my manager, would always tell me my music was destined to touch lives all over the country and even reach international shores.<\/p>
\u201cTrue to his prediction, that is my reality.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, my Germiston audience is not as big.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich is a concern for me because how is it that I am well-known in distant provinces, when my own neighbours do not know me,\u201d Thandiwe expressed.<\/p>\n The Graceland resident started singing at a young age, admiring legendary gospel artists and groups such as Dr Rebecca Malope, Sipho Mkhabane and Hillsong Worship.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always known how to sing and people around me were also aware of my talent.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, after joining and parting with a few choirs I quickly realised that talent was not enough to build a career.<\/p>\n \u201cI have sung at weddings and churches, either in a group or as a solo artist, but because it was not yet God\u2019s plan for me to breakthrough, I did not,\u201d said Thandiwe.<\/p>\n \u201cThe success of my debut album is all God\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n \u201cHis timing is perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n Thandiwe believes that breaking into the music industry last year was God\u2019s perfect plan because she is now mature enough to discern between what will break her career and what will build it.<\/p>\n \u201cWe must not depend on our own understanding, but trust in the Lord with all our hearts, thoughts and understanding,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Thandiwe\u2019s music can be classified as traditional gospel music with an influence from the\u00a0Old Time Religion<\/i>\u00a0protestant hymnal.<\/p>\n Apart from music, Thandiwe is currently completing her biblical studies through Team Impact Christian University.<\/p>\n At\u00a0The Night of Ultimate Worship<\/i>\u00a0on September 29, Thandiwe will be joined on stage by artists such as Dumisani Khanyile, Sthembela Mazibuko and Sindiswa Maseko.<\/p>\n Vusi Gcabashe from Kasi FM will be the master of ceremonies so gear up for a fun-filled evening of praise and worship.<\/p>\n The event will be held at 1454 Holly Crescent, Egoli Village in Graceland, Germiston.<\/p>\n For more information contact Justin on 084 443 0072\/073 194 1469.<\/p>\n Follow Thandiwe on Twitter and Instagram @thandiwetakawira and on Facebook Thandiwe Takawira.<\/p>\n Have a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n Contact the newsroom by emailing: Melissa Hart (Editor)\u00a0<\/span>germistoncitynews@caxton.co.za<\/a><\/strong>or Leigh Hodgson (News Editor)\u00a0<\/span>leighh@caxton.co.za<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Kgotsofalang Mashilo (journalist)\u00a0kgotsofalangm@caxton.co.za<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Remember to visit the Germiston City News on the following social media platforms:<\/p>\n Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Twitter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n YouTube\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Or add the GCN on\u00a0<\/b><\/span>WhatsApp 079 406 1181<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>or\u00a0BBM (BBM Pin: 7F102137)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/span>today, to get all the latest news.<\/p>\n Catch-up on more local news with our sister newspapers\u00a0<\/span>Bedfordview Edenvale News<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Alberton Record<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Kempton Express<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2018\/08\/31GCNENTERTAINMEN_89698-520x390.jpg\")
