Gospel sensation releases a surprise album

The Rock Restaurant in Design Quarter in Fourways was packed when renowned contemporary gospel singer Ntokozo Mbambo, pictured, launched her surprise album, Moments in Time.

The album comprises her most loved songs from the start of her professional music journey.

Mbambo performed Great is the Lord, Breathe on Me, I Love the Lord, Yek’umusa and Simi Lapha.

”I am truly grateful for the people who walked this journey with me. I dedicate this album to you,” Mbambo said.

She started singing in church when she was a child.

Her music career began to take off when she was 13 and she recorded her debut solo album, Bambelela.

She became the youngest member to join the sensational Gospel group Joyous Celebration two years later at the age of 15.

In 2007, she recorded a live DVD/CD in a sold-out venue. Keep on Believing earned her a Metro FM nomination for Best Gospel Album and three nominations at the 2008 Crown Gospel Music Awards. – Citizen reporter
