MANZINI– Aziwi ku groove kuphela, Manzini is giving church lovers a chance to enjoy the busy weekend by bringing a gospel-filled atmosphere of worship, praise and uplifting music to the city.
Worship Encounter 4 is set to take place on Saturday, 1 August 2026, at the Metropolitan Church Auditorium in Fairview, Manzini, bringing together gospel artists and worshippers for an evening centred on faith and music.
While the weekend calendar is packed with festivals, parties and live performances, the worship event is offering gospel lovers a different kind of entertainment experience one where praise, prayer and soulful music take centre stage.
The programme will begin at 6:30pm, following the opening of the gates at 4pm. The evening will feature performances by celebrated gospel artists Sbu Noah, Dumi Mkokstad and Ayanda Ntanzi, who are expected to lead the main worship sessions.
Local talent will also be represented through performances by Blessing Dludlu, Banele Dlamini and Mzwakhe “Tjovi K” Phumalo as the MC . Their inclusion adds an Eswatini touch to a line-up that combines local and regional gospel music.
The event is expected to move through different moments of worship, from opening prayer and local performances to the main musical sessions later in the evening. An interlude has also been included in the programme, allowing attendees time to reflect and connect with the message of the night.
With gospel music continuing to attract audiences beyond traditional church settings, Worship Encounter 4 is expected to bring together worshippers, music lovers and supporters looking for a meaningful weekend experience.
As the country prepares for a lively weekend, Worship Encounter 4 is set to show that the Manzini city’s entertainment scene also has space for worship, fellowship and a joyful celebration of faith.
