"Gospel music is good and it is not just music. It is also the preaching of the Word of God," said Mukhunyeledzi Mabuduga, a fierce supporter of gospel music.
The 19-year-old Mabuduga has released his debut album, entitled Tshedza, with many of his songs already enjoying huge airplay at some of the radio stations in the province.
Speaking to Limpopo Mirror, Mabuduga said he was happy that he had finally realised his dream of reaching out to the people through music. He added that his parents played a vital role in the production of his album. "They told me that I am talented and I must release an album, so that the whole world must see my talent."
He said the main message of the album was repentance, hope for Christians, grace, love and the goodness of God.
The second-year electrical engineering student at the University of Johannesburg said he started composing in 2013. He added that although the album contained only 10 songs, he had many more songs in stock - enough for three more albums. He said his effort to record the rest of the songs was being hampered by a lack of sponsorship.
The album features songs such as Maanda a Mudzimu which, according to Mabuduga, talks about the love that God has showered on him. The other tracks are Zwothe Ndi Zwavho, Haya Ndi Tadulu, Yeso U Ya Vhafuna, Lufuno Lungafha (featuring Ndamu Skimile), Mutshidzi Wanga, Ho Dula le Ntate (featuring Kgomotso Madumo), Yeso Ndi Tshedza, Maanda a Mudzimu (featuring Buhle Nkosi) and Thabelo Yanga (featuring Thili Maumela).
The album is doing very well on the market and can also be found on iTunes, Amazon and Google play.
"The reason we still live today is because God is gracious and merciful. He wants us to change and we must do that quickly before time runs out," he said in his message to gospel music lovers in the country. He is planning to release a live DVD recording and to continue creating good music.
