Healing the nation through music
The Heal Our Land Concert is slated for 3 August and will feature South African gospel stars Dumi Mkostad and Zaza Mokhethi at Zoo Park.
On the local front, Manda Gabriel, Abner Mumbala, Sovita Joshua, Pride, Vuuyo Johnson, Jux Adolf, D-Naff, Esmee and Dee A & Franklin are also billed to perform.
In an interview with tjil Ndilimeke Nambinga, the chairperson of the Heal Our Land Concert, shared the event is aimed at bringing the community together to worship and pray against social ills that Namibian society is plagued with. Nambinga said the concert will be recorded and the footage will be available on DVD, either at the end of this year or early in 2020. “It is going to be an annual event, focusing on different social issues. For this year, the main issue we want healing from is violence against women and children.
“Our motto is 'spread love'. We need to start igniting the love of God and love one another more,” said Nambinga.
This winter, the Heal Our Land Foundation, the organisation that is hosting the concert, has been focusing on donating clothing to the needy.
Nambinga shared that the concert's profit will be geared towards establishing different programmes and initiatives, aimed at keeping the community safe.
“We call on all music lovers to attend. We are usually divided by the politics of life, but this event is for all of us. By attending this event, you are also giving back to the community,” Nambinga said.
Tickets are available at Computicket at any Shoprite and Checkers outlets countrywide for N$100 for the general access and N$250 for VIP.
