Xolly Mncwango reflects on her recent awards

Xolly Mncwango left Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga with the Best Female Artist and Best Gospel Album awards.

In an interview with TshisaLive, Xolly shared that she didn’t expect to triumph in the two categories, especially the Best Female Artist category, where she went up against the likes of DBN Gogo, Babalwa M, Ntokozo Mkhize and reigning Metro FM Awards Artist of the Year, Makhadzi.

Xolly Mncwango said the win was a testament that God was in total control of her music career.

“It's not about winning the most awards, but about God's favour and grace and him being the amplifier of our steps,” she said.

Reflecting on winning the Best Gospel Album award, Xolly Mncwango described the moment as a reminder of God’s presence in her life.

“Winning Best Gospel Album is testament to God's unusual and mighty works in my life. I thought of it based on the testimonies and the hard work we’ve put in. I'm grateful and humbled by His blessings and such recognition. Above all, I am honoured to be a vessel,” she declared.
