Gospel powerhouse Ziyanda Tshangana, hit maker of Angigedwa and the chart-topping Ulihlathi Lethu Thixo, will make a live recording of her second album, Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God, at the Prophetic Workshop Encounter on Saturday.

The event takes place at the Calvary Christian Church, in Quigney, from 3pm to 9pm.    

Tshangana is celebrated for her versatility, and has grown out of her Sunday School roots to become one of the Eastern Cape’s most treasured voices.

Her ministry continues to inspire worshippers across SA and abroad. 

The event is being championed by radio personality Lali Tokwe from Umhlobo Wenene FM. 

Joining Tshangana on stage will be a powerful line-up of gospel artists, including Thinah Zungu, Jumbo, EBMQ, Intimate Worshippers and Xola Tota, who recently became part of the acclaimed Spirit of Praise ensemble.

For Zungu, the event marks a long-awaited return to East London. 

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to East London. I’m so happy to be back.

“It’s a Prophetic Worship Encounter and the name itself tells you a lot. God has blessed us with beautiful voices to worship him, but people must expect a different touch of God.”

Zungu also revealed a treat for fans.

“I have a new song I recorded live in August. It’s coming out at the end of this month so I’m definitely going to perform it.”

Tshangana achieved a significant milestone in 2024 when she hosted a live recording for her debut album,Seek Ye First, at the Guild Theatre, a sold-out event that reflected her rising influence in the gospel music scene. 

This year’s event is expected to draw worshippers from across the country. 

“This year’s Prophetic Worship was inspired by my love of the Lord,” Tshangana said.

“I always wanted to give back to Him by gathering His people in one place and worshipping Him, the one who has been the pillar of my strength.”

Tshangana said this event would be different from those of previous years. 

“It’s a live recording and more male features will be unveiled on the night. We’ll also be introducing new voice singers who have been working behind the scenes but haven’t been heard before.”

And the vision doesn’t end there. 

“Later this year, we’re planning to do a Ziyanda Tshangana Homecoming. In 2026, we are taking the Seek Ye First album tour to Cape Town and Johannesburg.”

As anticipation builds, Tshangana shared her prayer for the event. 

“I pray that everyone who attends will leave feeling revived, restored, renewed and spiritually aligned — and that whatever they came in expecting will be fulfilled.”

Sandisiwe Maqokoso from EBMQ promised the audience an unforgettable, transformative encounter. 

“We always aim to leave a mark with our performances. With God, we make sure our audience leaves fulfilled and satisfied.

“We pour everything into our ministry so that no-one walks out the same way they came in.

“People should expect to be revived. They should prepare for a powerful experience from EBMQ.

“We want every person to walk away believing in the presence and power of God and to be reminded he is the Almighty.”

Ticket are R300 from Checkers and Shoprite outlets nationwide.
