A gospel musician, Hulisani Nesane, also known as Hulisani Morwamotho in the gospel industry, has just released his debut album, entitled The Gospel – Huna Fhungo.
He hails from Golgotha in Thohoyandou.
He said that although gospel music varied according to culture and social context, his album was all about the Word of God imbedded in the Bible and hymns. The album comprises 14 songs.
Emphasizing the song Huna Fhungo, he said that the song was crafted from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah, chapter 7 verse 14 and chapter 42 verse 1. "Isaiah prophesized the coming of the Messiah 700 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. The song is about unpacking who the Messiah is and the wise men from the east who followed the star," he added.
He further said that the aim of the album was to transform Zion-based traditional gospel music and to touch people’s lives.
The album is available at Dakota Record Bar Stores and Cash Crusaders. "Alternatively, they can get it from my support team through a special request on social media," he said.
He is available on Facebook as Hulisani Morwamotho and on Instagram at hulisanimorwamotho.

The revival of Tshivenda traditional music is not just the pipe dream of some idealists. Judging by the turnout during a meeting held in Thohoyandou this past weekend, this form of music is about to undergo a major revival.
Tshivenda traditional-music lovers are in for a treat with a collaboration between Tshivenda traditional music legend and veteran Solomon Mathase and popular poet and guitarist Dzomo la Venda. The two were spotted on Saturday, 20 April, at a function in Thohoyandou where they showcased their talents during a live performance.
During a Sunday sermon, Bishop Johannes Muofhe of the World Mission Church’s Fondwe branch prophesied that a musician, someone other than a member of the worship team, would emerge from the church.
With a successful roots-reggae album titled “Shandukani” to his name, Fhatuwani Richard Mashele is quickly becoming a household name in South African music. Better known as Jah Saint in music circles, Mashele believes that success does not come overnight and that one must work hard to earn it.
