The music fete will be characterised by an array of gospel songs from his own albums and others from Africa and Europe.

In an interview, Mahendere said preparations are an advanced stage and encouraged his fans to come in their numbers.
“I am happy to be hosting this family festival which will be packed with praise and worship sessions. The event will be one of its kind as we unite all Christians and non-Christians under one roof to celebrate the goodness of the Lord.

“Tickets are already on sell and I urge music enthusiasts to come in their numbers and have an unforgettable experience with God,” he said.

The “Makanaka Jesu” hit-maker also said he will launch his latest live DVD for the album “Getting Personal with God (GPWG) 3” that will be given for free.

“The wait is now over for the live DVD of GPW3 as I will be unleashing it during the festival where I will give out free copies to everyone who will attend,” he said.

During the festival, he will also sample some of his latest singles not yet released.
