This year’s South African Music Awards (SAMAs) celebrate two remarkable gospel artists, Xolly Mncwango and Sneziey Msomi, whose unwavering faith and undeniable talent have earned them nominations in some of the most prestigious categories. Their journeys in the music industry are deeply intertwined with their spiritual beliefs, and they continue to use their voices to inspire and uplift through faith-driven music.
Xolly Mncwango, a rising star in the gospel world, has been nominated in three major categories: SAMPRA Album of the Year, Best Female Artist of the Year, and Best Contemporary Faith Album. Hailing from Richards Bay, Xolly’s journey has been nothing short of inspiring. She began as a backing vocalist, and now her soulful voice and powerful messages have propelled her into the spotlight. Xolly attributes all of her success to her faith, seeing her nominations as a divine confirmation of her purpose. Her latest project, Unusual Encounter, is a celebration of love, faith, and spirituality, reflecting her deep connection to her beliefs. As she prepares for international tours, Xolly continues to push boundaries, bringing her gospel sound to audiences far beyond South Africa’s borders.
Sneziey Msomi, known for her breakout on Idols SA, has also secured a coveted SAMA nomination, further establishing her as a powerhouse in the gospel genre. For Sneziey, her nomination is particularly meaningful as it aligns with a milestone in her life—coming just after her 30th birthday and for a project that is deeply personal to her. Her album Sibonga Umusa is more than just music; it is a spiritual offering that captures her intimate conversations with God. Turning these reflections into songs was a challenge, but the result is a moving collection of tracks that resonate with listeners on a deep emotional level. Sneziey sees this nomination as a sign that she is exactly where God wants her to be, and her fans couldn’t agree more.
Both Xolly and Sneziey have not only made their mark in the gospel music industry but have also become symbols of faith and perseverance for their listeners. Their music, deeply rooted in their spiritual journeys, is a reflection of the power of belief and resilience. As these women continue to rise, they inspire others to follow their own paths with faith at the forefront.
