Betusile Mcinga is a proud son after witnessing his mother, Lusanda Mcinga, beat all odds to accept her high honour.

The Lusanda Spiritual Group vocalist had a life-changing moment at the Crown Gospel Music Awards.

Lusanda's award came as a shock

Betusile Mcinga, who is walking in his mother's footsteps, relived the special night at the urban International Convention Centre (ICC). On Facebook, he said he had hidden the news from his mom and tricked her into attending the ceremony, with hopes that she would witness her son sing her songs.

"So we had to keep this honorary award as a surprise from Baby. I told her that I’m invited to sing her songs at the Crown Gospel Music Awards, so I wanted her to be there when I’m performing," he said.

Little did she know that she would be awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award.

"She said, 'No, my boy. I will watch you on the TV. I cannot sit there the whole night.' I told her that it's very important. 'I really want you there. You will not stay the whole night.' She ended up agreeing. When we arrived there, she kept askign when will I take to the stage. I told her that I would perform at the end of the program," he laughed.
