The gospel industry has seen a challenging time over the past couple of months due to a number of factors relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. The President of ACAESWA, Phetsile Msibi also made a comment on the announcement of the Top 10 MTN iPraise artists wishing them all luck in their journey to the Top 5, “This opportunity to perform at a time when entertainment has been closed down for safety reasons is important to our artists. The artists who form part of the MTN iPraise Top 10 have made us proud. We encourage the public to vote and pick their Top 5. We look forward to a great MTN iPraise line-up all chosen by fans. We thank Destiny Group and MTN for allowing both the fans and the artists the opportunity to have a concert that has been designed exclusively for them and by them.”
