MBABANE – As we usher in 2025, we spoke with individuals from the entertainment industry about their aspirations for the upcoming year.
From all of us at Eswatini Positive News, we wish you a blessed and prosperous New Year. Thank you for being part of our family. Happy New Year!
Here’s what some of our entertainers had to share:
Miss Cultural Heritage 2024/25 – Gcinizwi Tsikati
“A queen speaks from a place of confidence, assurance, and power. As we bid farewell to 2024, let us honor all the memories we’ve made. To those who overcame challenges, well done – your strength is inspiring.
May 2025 bring renewed hope, fresh opportunities, and strength to persevere. Every step we take is a testament to our journey. As queen, I plan to lead with love and hold the crown with responsibility. May the coming year be a chapter of triumph and growth for all.”
President of the Eswatini Choral Music Association – Sihle Gumbi
“The choral music industry has grown significantly, with international accolades to show for it. In 2025, we hope to see greater investment from the government, including reinstating choral music courses at Ngwane Teachers’ College.
We also aim to foster more international partnerships to elevate our music and showcase Eswatini’s talent on a global stage.”
EBIS Radio Host – Bobo Dlamini
“As we reflect on 2024, gratitude fills my heart for both the highs that made us smile and the lows that made us stronger. Here’s to a 2025 filled with love, hope, and endless possibilities for us all.”
EBIS Radio Host – Gcebile Mvubu
“My 2025 resolutions include becoming more outgoing and community-focused. I plan to increase my volunteer work at Ezulwini Clinic, expand my clothing charity for the needy, and grow my skin product business by documenting success stories and upgrading my skills through reading.”
Ndosh Webengunee
“My resolution is simple: achieve the goals I set in 2023, which I’ve been putting off since 2020. It’s time to stop procrastinating and take action!”
Wompact Director & Talent and Motion Academy Founder – Velile Dube
“I don’t call them resolutions; I call them commitments. My 2025 commitment is to be a better version of myself in every area of life—spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially. My goal is to apply lessons from 2024 and improve across the board.”
Founder and President of Marydee Foundation – Dudu Dube
“My resolution for 2025 is to take leaps of faith. I’ll continue to lean on God, my source of strength. Each year, I reflect on my highs, lows, and lessons, and I remain committed to spiritual growth, personal improvement, and achieving my goals.”
Sabela Records Project Manager – Phindokuhle Sithole
“2025 is a year of purpose and impact. My resolutions focus on innovation, growth, and connection:
Music Production: Release emotionally resonant music.
Artist Management: Help artists achieve transformative milestones.
Event Management: Deliver standout, sustainable events.
Photography: Tell compelling stories through imagery.
Project Coordination: Streamline processes and inspire others.
Personal Growth: Balance work and passions intentionally.
This year, I aim to create meaningful moments, build stronger connections, and leave a lasting legacy.”
Entertainment Veteran – Larry Mhlanga
“My resolutions focus on fostering collaboration within the entertainment industry. Better communication, such as sharing annual calendars, will help avoid conflicting schedules that dilute audiences and revenues.
The industry needs more professionalism and diversification. Artists should explore additional income streams and embrace innovative approaches, especially in the gospel sector.”
Majaha Nkonyane, the Poet
“My goals for 2025 include:
Enhancing income streams through side jobs or investments, aiming for a 20% increase in earnings.
Boosting savings by building an emergency fund.
Staying consistent at the gym.
Developing a community health association to promote wellness and connect residents to resources.
Starting a family.”
Culolami Dlamini Farmers Market Festival Director and founder
I would like to wish everyone a happy and successful 2025.
To a better business year, and more success to the entertainment industry.
I would like to have a bigger and better Eswatini Farmers Market and MoMo Xperience for 2025, a bigger and better 2025 for the Melting C Events family and also my home family❤
