An Unforgettable Line-Up
This year’s edition will feature an incredible line-up of local and international worship leaders, ready to lead the nation in praise.
UK-based Zimbabwean artist and the visionary behind the Grateful Concert series, Eleana Makombe returns home to host this landmark event. Known for her powerful vocals and anointed stage presence, she is set to lead a memorable night of worship.
A true legend of African gospel music, South Africa's "Queen of Gospel," Dr. Rebecca Malope, will grace the stage. With a career spanning over three decades and millions of albums sold, her performance is not to be missed.
Another South African gospel giant, Sipho Makhabane, known for his soul-stirring worship anthems, will be a guest performer, bringing his years of ministry and powerful music to the HICC.
The night will also be blessed by the ministries of some of Zimbabwe's finest worship leaders, including:
- Michael Mahendere
- Takesure Zamar Ncube
- Sharon Manyonganise Official
- Minister Ellard
What to Expect: A Move of God
This isn’t just another event — it’s a MOVE OF GOD! Expect glory-filled worship, prophetic encounters, and heart-stirring moments of gratitude.
The previous "Grateful Concert" in the UK was a sold-out, professionally executed event that provides a glimpse of what's to come.
At her UK show, Eleana put on a "scintillating" performance, leading the crowd in powerful worship with hits like "Baba Munashe" and "Tsvaira Moyo." Bishop Benjamin Dube, who she esteems as a mentor, joined her on stage for a duet where "heaven was open," leaving the audience standing in awe.
"I didn't take this journey lightly... What I saw was peace. You are blessed and this is the beginning of your new chapter. Well done." - Bishop Benjamin Dube
The UK concert featured electrifying performances from Minister Michael Mahendere, who kept fans on their feet, and the "young gospel power couple" Ellard and Sharon Cherayi, who drove the crowd into a frenzy with their worship songs.
One lesson from the UK show was the commitment to excellence. The event featured "par excellence" sound and lighting, punctuality, and organized logistics. The Zimbabwe edition promises to deliver the same high standard of professionalism.
