Zaza Celebrates 10 Years of Blowing the Horn of Chronicle With Special Live Album Anniversary Concert

South African gospel powerhouse Zanele “Zaza” Mokhethi is set to celebrate a major milestone with the 10-year anniversary celebration of her groundbreaking live album, Blowing the Horn of Chronicle. The highly anticipated event will take place on 24 October 2026 at the Gibson Kente Theatre at Soweto Theatre, bringing fans together for an unforgettable afternoon of worship, praise and celebration. The album anniversary marks a decade since Zaza released her solo debut live project in 2016 under her own label, Zahza Holdings. Since its release, Blowing the Horn of Chronicle has become one of the defining moments of her career, earning double platinum status and establishing her as one of South Africa’s most respected gospel voices. The celebration promises to honour the journey, impact and spiritual legacy of an album that continues to inspire audiences across the country.

Blowing the Horn of Chronicle holds a special place in South African gospel music because it represents a turning point in Zaza’s artistic journey. The live album was recorded at Soweto Theatre and introduced audiences to her unique approach to worship, combining powerful vocals, traditional Zulu praise elements and a strong live performance presence. Before launching her solo career, Zaza built a reputation through her involvement with some of the country’s biggest gospel platforms. She gained recognition through her performances with Joyous Celebration, where she became known for the beloved song Namhla Nkosi, before later joining Spirit of Praise and contributing to popular worship songs such as Calvary, Ngena, Igama leNkosi and Zonk’ izono. Her experience in these influential gospel movements helped shape the confidence and musical identity that would define her solo work.

The upcoming anniversary celebration will reflect on the dedication and faith that shaped the creation of Blowing the Horn of Chronicle. Zaza’s journey has been marked by independence, vision and a desire to create opportunities beyond traditional music spaces. After leaving Joyous Celebration in 2007 and later moving on from Spirit of Praise in 2015, she established her own company and took the bold step of recording her first live album. Through Zahza Holdings, she created a platform that allowed her to build her own musical legacy while supporting the growth of female gospel artists. The album became more than a personal achievement because it represented courage, faith and the importance of creating space for women within the gospel industry.

Known for her energetic stage presence and authentic worship style, Zaza has promised a spirit-filled experience for audiences attending the celebration. Fans can expect a powerful atmosphere filled with praise, thanksgiving and memorable moments from an album that has touched many lives. The artist is also bringing back her signature sneaker style, promising to wear her famous All Star sneakers during the performance. This personal touch reflects the authenticity and relatability that have become part of her identity as a performer. Zaza’s ability to connect with audiences through both her music and personality has helped her maintain a strong relationship with gospel fans throughout her career.

The success of Blowing the Horn of Chronicle opened the door for a series of impactful projects that continued to expand Zaza’s musical journey. Following her debut live album, she released The Outpouring Chronicle in 2019, Shrubs of Chronicle in 2021, Shabach Shofar Chronicle in 2023 and Sound of Gratitude in 2025. Each project has contributed to her growing legacy while showcasing her ability to create worship experiences that remain relevant across different generations. Her continued dedication to gospel music led to recognition through a nomination at the South African Music Awards 2026, also known as SAMA32. This achievement highlights her influence and the lasting impact of her contribution to the South African gospel landscape.

The 10-year celebration of Blowing the Horn of Chronicle is set to be a memorable event for gospel music lovers who have followed Zaza’s journey from her early days in major gospel groups to her successful solo career. The concert will take place at the Gibson Kente Theatre at Soweto Theatre on 24 October 2026 at 15:00, with tickets available through Webtickets for R400. More than a celebration of an album, the event represents a decade of faith, perseverance and musical excellence. Zaza’s story continues to inspire artists and fans by showing the power of taking bold steps and remaining committed to a calling. As she returns to the stage to celebrate Blowing the Horn of Chronicle, audiences can look forward to a worship experience that honours the past while celebrating the future of gospel music.
