HE has shared the stage with celebrated artists like US star John Legend and British pop ace Elton John, but Loyiso Bala will be returning to his Bay roots next weekend.

The award-winning Uitenhage-born artist is set to perform at the Word of Faith Christian Centre on March 30.

In a video promoting the performanc­e on the church’s YouTube page, Bala promised “a wonderful night of praise and worship” with him and his band on Good Friday.

“I am so looking forward to coming back home this Easter,” he said.

Bala has performed for dignitarie­s including Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton and Richard Branson.

He has seven South African Music Awards under his belt. He is also one third of the Bala Brothers, a group consisting of him and his two brothers, Zwai and Phelo.

In addition to his musical career, Bala was appointed as the national goodwill ambassador for the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/Aids (Unaids), and raises awareness around HIV testing and the discrimina­tion against people living with HIV.
