LUBULINI – Former Ncandweni Christ Ambassadors member Thabile Myeni joined the group on stage, mesmerising over 5 000 people.

This was during her brother Timothy Myeni’s election campaign show held at the Nsoko Sports Ground on Saturday.

Timothy, who is the leader of the country’s top gospel group, was canvassing for votes for the Secondary Elections scheduled for this Friday. Timothy hopes to be voted into Parliament as an MP once more for the next five years.

The show lasted for the better part of the day and night with other various gospel artists who entertained those in attendence. The show started at around 9am as there was also a soccer tournament that had been sponsored to the tune of E5 000 courtesy of the Ncandweni Christ Ambassadors leader. The siblings had not performed together for a while now after Thabile decided to go solo.

However, it was a different case on Saturday as Thabile joined the group on stage and sang a number of songs, leaving the over 5 000 people, most of whom seemed to be Timothy’s fans, yearning for more.

The group took the stage just after 2pm and performed for about two hours before another performance in the early hours of yesterday morning. As soon as Timothy went on stage, he asked that the sound system be connected accordingly as he wanted to stage a live performance. After everything had been sorted, he then called the group members to take the stage. Timothy then asked the people who attended the show to be patient as he was still waiting for Thabile to join him on stage, in less than five minutes Thabile went on stage and grabbed a microphone getting ready to sing.

Timothy took his regular position of keyboard player, and as soon as he started playing, there were screams all around the sports ground, with most people rushing forward to the stage. Some of them could not even wait for Thabile to sing as they started imitating her well before she uttered a word.

Thabile sang most of the songs she used to sing while still an active member of the group.
Despite that she has not been part of the group for some time, she did not disappoint as she sang all the songs accordingly, something that impressed the gospel music lovers.

Among other songs Thabile sang with the group include the famous song ‘Bakhiphe Moses’, a song that proved to be a hit. Other songs performed by the group include ‘Izulu Ikhaya Lami’ and ‘Uthando’. Indeed the group gave a performance that was appreciated by everyone.

By the time the group left the stage people still wanted more, especially after hearing Thabile’s voice. Timothy promised that the group would be back on stage and indeed it was the case in the early hours of yesterday as they spent about three hours on stage.

In addition to the eight cows, Myeni sponsored a one-day soccer tournament to the tune of E5 000.The tournament was in a winner-takes-all format. Myeni also gave each of the 52 teams that competed in the tournament a soccer kit worth E3 500. Those who attended were not left out as Myeni gave them free CDs and DVDs as a token of appreciation. Pleading for votes, Myeni assured his followers that he would make it a point that Lubulini becomes one of the best areas in the country.

Echos of ‘Phezulu NgaTimothy Phezulu’

LUBULINI – Mduduzi Nezinceku Zamagawugawu helped aspiring Lubulini MP Timothy Myeni as he pleaded with the people of his constituency to vote for him.

The Secondary Elections will be held on Friday. He called upon everyone at Lubulini to go to the polling station on Friday where they would be expected to cast their vote for Myeni. Soon after he made his speech, Simelane shouted ‘Phezulu NgaTimothy Phezulu’. Simelane who came with his backup singers together with LaZwide Umkhokheli, first joined Ncwandweni Christ Ambassadors on stage and performed one song with them.

The aspiring MP then asked Simelane and his group to take the stage. The group performed one of their songs titled ’Simbona Ngothando’. Soon after the song, Simelane said he was aware of the great things Myeni had done for his constituency. Simelane said in as far as he was concerned Myeni was the best person and that the people can believe in him.

Simelane said the fact that he was able to transform Ncandweni Christ Ambassadors to be known even overseas, was a sign that he was the right man for the MP position.

Also encouraging the people to vote was Swaziland Broadcasting and Information Services (SBIS) personality Nelisiwe Ntfombitanele Motsa who said Friday would be the day for the people of Lubulini to make a difference.
Motsa made an example of a house that was built by many builders saying it normally has cracks.

She warned the people of Lubulini to make sure that the house they build has no cracks. Motsa said since Myeni had made the foundation and also did the first layer, he should be allowed to finish all the work he had started.

He encouraged everyone to cross Myeni’s face during the Secondary Elections, saying Myeni was the right person for the constituency.
