Pearl Modiadie To Host The Crown Gospel Awards For The Third Time

Media personality Pearl Modiadie will return as host of the Crown Gospel Awards for the third time.

She is set to do it alongside Lawrencia Maleka at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre (Durban ICC) on Sunday.

Pearl has therefore been invited again, because of her appeal.

“She (Pearl) came in and captured the Crown audience and they loved her. She is a natural, she is versatile and she is real,” founder Zanele Mbokazi said.

“Our state of readiness is tops. The band and choir started rehearsals two weeks ago, the technical supplier has moved into the Durban ICC for the construction of the set, sound and lighting and the dresses and tuxedos are almost ready.

“If you were to call the Hilton hotel they will confirm that they are fully booked for the 25th of November, and that goes for many others hotels around Durban, hair salons, nail and make-up outlets and the fashion designers are running around doing final touches,” said Mbokazi.

The main prize for gospel artist of the year includes a trip to the US. Nominees in that category thus include Hlengiwe Mhlaba, Sipho Ngwenya, Babo Ngcobo and Teboho Moloi.

The awards will therefore be live on SABC2 at 8pm.
