MTN Joyous Celebration declares “It’s Time” to take the music back to the people
Tags:
THE people have spoken and MTN Joyous Celebration has listened. South Africa’s most celebrated gospel outfit will be blessing Port Shepstone and Newcastle by closing off the year on a high musical note as part of the two “It’s Time” shows, which will take place on 29 December in Newcastle, and 30 December in Port Shepstone.
 The “It’s Time” shows will demonstrate why the group is the nation’s longest running gospel project, as they continue to reinvent not only themselves, but also gospel, a genre they can proudly claim to have contributed to it being one of the highest-selling and most popular genres in the country. The two shows afford guests a chance to reflect on the year gone by, and their aspirations for the year ahead. The festive season is a time for loved ones and MTN Joyous Celebration’s “It’s Time” shows are geared to foster family time and their fans are more than welcome to bring along picnic baskets and camping chairs, as braai facilities will be available. The all-encompassing spectacles will not be limited to the audience savouring the best of MTN Joyous Celebration’s harmonious melodies, but the programme will also include comedians and motivational speakers. “It was pretty obvious for us to complete the circle and go back to where MTN Joyous Celebration was born,” says co-founder Lindelani Mkhize. “It warms our hearts to be able to perform in front of our home fans and to express our gratitude to them. It was 15 years ago when we embarked on this life-changing journey with them, and it is more than fitting to celebrate it with them in Port Shepstone and Newcastle. This is the perfect opportunity for our loyal fans to catch a glimpse of us once again pushing musical boundaries. We cannot wait!” he enthused. Gates will open at 10h30 and performances will commence at 12h00 and the shows are expected to end by 22h00 with MTN Joyous Celebration headlining at 17h00. Newcastle Showgrounds will host the Newcastle leg on Thursday 29 December and Ugu Sports and Leisure Centre will host the Port Shepstone leg on Friday 30 December 2011. Tickets will be on sale at Computicket and Shoprite Checkers outlets from Thursday 8 December 2011 for R 100 (general seating) and R 200 (golden circle). Fans are also being urged to purchase their tickets early to avoid disappointment and the penalty of paying a higher price at the gate of R 150 (general ticket) and R 250 (golden circle).
