December 15, for an unforgettable performance.<\/p>\n<p>The Queen of Gospel herself, Hlengiwe Mhlaba, will be one of the performers to grace the stage.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>Originally from KwaZulu-Natal, Mhlaba has become a national household name in the gospel community.<\/p>\n<p>Mhlaba started singing professionally just over eight years ago and her debut album, Dwala Lami, was released in 2005.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>She has since released six more albums and four live DVDS, and has also collected a SAMA award and numerous Crown Gospel Awards along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Veteran gospel artist Solly Mahlangu spent 20 years in the ministry before deciding to focus on spreading the word through gospel music.<\/p>\n<p>His powerful, energetic stage presence and active performance, coupled with his warmth, make Mahlangu a compelling performer.<\/p>\n<p>At the fourth Crown Gospel Awards, in 2011, he walked away with the awards for Best Male Gospel Artist, Best Gospel Artist and Best Gospel song.<\/p>\n<p>The third star in the Praises line-up is S&#8217;fiso Ncwane, who also hails from KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n<p>Ncwane started singing at the tender age of eight and, by the time he was 10, he was singing isiCathamiya gospel songs.<\/p>\n<p>He started playing keyboards, bass guitar and drums.<\/p>\n<p>His first album released was titled Vulamasango and he has since gone on to release more albums and has won several
