From the 13th to the 15th of December, the multiple award-winning and internationally acclaimed gospel ensemble promises a unique and intimate experience of praise and worship in the Auditorium at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC). This follows a successful tour of their Joyous 22 “All for You” album which was concluded on a high note at the Sun Arena, Time Square in Pretoria recently.

Giving insight into the presentation and the aesthetics of the live recording, Lindelani Mkhize says, “We are about uniqueness, authenticity and being relevant, which is why we always aspire to bring something new and fresh. Our supporters can expect a theatrical experience with an eclectic mix of various elements, showcasing our new costumes and fashion as well as our talented soloists and vocalists to balance our slow and up-tempo songs. As it has always been with each of the albums, Joyous 23 will have something for everyone, for every moment in life.”

MTN Executive for Consumer Business, Mapula Bodibe says they are excited Cape Town will host the next recording, exactly a decade after the Mother City last hosted the prestigious show.

“At MTN we are truly passionate about our MTN Joyous Celebration partnership which spans over a number of years. It’s even more exciting that, together with our partners Joyous Celebration, we have kept our promise to MTN customers and Joyous fans. For years, they have been requesting that the Live DVD recording take place in Cape Town. We have heeded to their call and this time they will witness the live recording in Cape Town. This is another example of how MTN is making the world smaller by ensuring that this powerhouse gospel group – goes to places where hordes of fans are located,” says Bodibe.

Every year around October, the City’s streets are paved with carpets of purple petals as the famous Jacaranda trees strut their purple leaves to usher in the summer season. With the colour purple signifying spirituality, vitality and fulfilment, it only makes sense for MTN Joyous Celebration to close of a successful year of touring and winning awards in the Jacaranda City.

Co-founding member and conductor of MTN Joyous Celebration, Mr. Lindelani Mkhize, promises that “this is not going to be the same show we’ve been presenting this year. MTN Joyous Celebration 22 – The Special @ Time Square is going to be a power-packed production which will feature guest appearances by some of our fans’ all-time favourite members who have graced our stage in the past. We have also enlisted spiritual leaders as part of ‘The Special’ to offer our thanksgiving for the extended Joyous family as a whole.”
