The legendary night with the Queen of South African Gospel Music BACK TO UK- BY PUBLIC DEMAND: DR REBECCA MALOPE. Show not to be missed.Rebecca Batsogile Malope was born in 1968 in a small town called Lekazi in Mpumalanga. Her life story is one of struggle and triumph and rags to riches. For the first 6 years of her life she could not walk due to a disease she contracted from her mother being brutally abused by her father while she was pregnant. Doctors had concluded that she would never be able to stand on her own two feet; however, thanks to her mother’s prayers, one day she stood up and started walking.
Today she is one of the most energetic performers in the continent, known for her energetic stage presence and dance moves.
Her rise to stardom began in 1987 when she entered and won the “Shell Road To Fame” talent competition and her star has not stopped shining since then. After winning the talent search she was determined to sing gospel however she was told by industry executives that gospel music does not sell and she was better placed in the industry as a Pop Star competing against artists such as Brenda Fassie and Yvonne Chaka Chaka.
In 2003 she received an honorary doctorate from the University of Natal for her contribution to music and in December of that year she won the Kora Award for Best Gospel Singer. Her music has given birth to new believers, entrenched faith in those who started to doubt themselves and brought back hundreds from their suicide attempts. Rebecca's music indeed reaches people from all walks of life and from all over the world.
She is not called the Queen of Gospel for nothing. Her reach and appeal remains strong over the years and she steadfastly keeps up the standards and explores new terrain with her music. Malope’s talent is not only enjoyed and recognised in South Africa but across the continent and the world. She has performed in the USA, United Kingdom, Paris, Germany, Nigeria, Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Ghana and Angola to name a few.
She has a few firsts to her name. Chief of which is being the first black artist and woman to perform at the State Theatre in Pretoria after the unbanning of apartheid.
Not bad for a little girl from a rural township called Lekazi near the Kruger National Park, who went to school on an empty stomach and without shoes, didn’t finish school and lived on the streets. She hiked 400km from home to Evaton in Gauteng and pursued her dream.
Hers is a story of resilience, determination and chutzpah. A true reminder of Philippians 4:13 which says “I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me”
