MBABANE, Eswatini (May 12, 2025) — Gospel artist Nothando Hlophe is set to host a landmark live recording event at the Mavuso Trade Centre on June 7, promising an evening of powerful worship and celebration. Dubbed “A New Dawn,” the concert marks what the singer describes as a historic moment in her career—and in Eswatini’s gospel music scene.

According to Hlophe’s announcement on her Facebook page, attendees can expect more than just a typical concert. “Chwechwa Season is Here – and You’re Invited to Be Part of HISTORY!” she wrote, underscoring the event’s significance as both a live performance and the recording session for an upcoming album.

The evening’s programme will begin at 6:00 PM, with doors opening early to allow worshippers time for fellowship before the main performance. Organizers say the set list will blend Hlophe’s well-known hits with never-before-heard compositions, all carried by her signature, soul-stirring vocals. A rehearsal video released last week offers a glimpse of what’s to come:

“A New Dawn is rising with Nothando Hlophe’s powerful live recording,” the singer’s post continues, inviting fans to “fill the atmosphere with praise, power, and purpose.” Event planners have emphasized that audience participation is integral—voices and prayers lifted that night will be captured on the live album.

Tickets are available now through SmartTicket. Fans may purchase online or call 7845 0417 for home delivery. Organizers urge early booking, noting that seating is limited and demand is high.

As the countdown begins, local churches and gospel music enthusiasts are mobilizing groups to attend. With its combination of live worship, professional production, and the promise of a live-recorded album, A New Dawn is poised to become one of Eswatini’s most talked-about gospel events of 2025.
