On Friday, the gospel community gathered at the Sandton Assemblies Of God in prayer for Crown Gospel Awards founder and media personality Zanele Mbokazi following her lung cancer diagnosis.
Gospel artists Rebecca Malope, Lindelani Mkhize, Sipho Makhabane, Omega Khunou and Takie Ndou were in attendance.
Bishop Mpendulo Nkambule took to the podium and delivered a moving prayer that declared that Mbokozi would live long and that no weapon formed against her shall not prosper.
Mbokozi wore a green dress with a black coat and had a mask on and she was visibly emotional as prayers for her healing filled the room.
Speaking to those present Bishop Nkambule spoke life over his wife that “she will live and not die”.

He shared that when they found out the diagnosis they prayed until he ran out of words declaring that she would be healed and live. “We believe the report of the Lord, you are healed in the name of God.”
Malope called Mbokazi the president of gospel music in South Africa and the one putting talent on stage to praise God.
He shared that there are plenty of things that she still has to do with her God-given gift of being able to put together ideas for concerts and giving artists platforms.
The Ukhozi FM radio presenter fell ill on April 21 and could not finish her show after experiencing trouble with her voice.
Her husband at a later stage speaking on Ukhozi FM Vuka Afrika Breakfast Show shared with listeners that his wife was diagnosed with lung cancer, putting speculation around her health to rest.
Nkambule admitted that he and his family were in shock after hearing the news and asked for privacy and prayers during this time.
