Snl24 | Gospel star’s shocking return!
Pastor Andile KaMajola says he’ll enter the awards in honour of the late Zanele Mbokazi-Nkambule.
LEGENDARY gospel musician Pastor Andile KaMajola has made a U-turn.
Pastor KaMajola, who scooped the first-ever Crown Gospel Music Award during the awards’ first ceremony, said he’s entering this year in honour of the awards’ founder, the late Zanele Mbokazi-Nkambule.
In Crown Gospel Music Awards history, KaMajola was the first recipient, winning the Best Song Writer award for his song titled Wabamb’ukusho.
KaMajola boycotted the awards in 2017 when he was nominated five times but returned home empty-handed.
Gospel musician, Dr Tumi swept five awards: Best Gospel Album, Best Gospel Artist, Best Gospel Producer and Best Gospel Song.
In 2023, KaMajola, who has won awards more than 10 times, returned to enter in the Best Classic of All Time, Best Gospel Artist, and Best Song Writer categories but won nothing.
He told Daily Sun he was not entering this year, but because the awards are celebrating the founder, the late Zanele he’s changed his mind.

KaMajola said this year he’ll submit his recent album titled Pastor Andile KaMajola Chapter 12 and hopes that his hit song Liphakanyiswe will also scoop some awards in honour of Zanele.
Zanele died in August after a battle against lung cancer.
The 17th edition of the award ceremony will be held at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand, Joburg, on Sunday, 24 November.
The nomination process is still open and will close on Thursday, 10 October 2024.
