A bishop in Swaziland is furious that Zodwa has been
included in an upcoming gospel music festival.
Eswatini League of African Churches President Bishop Samson
Hlatshwayo, warned organisers about mixing "the gospel with worldly
things" and said if a festival involved gospel singers, it should only be
a gospel festival.
He also questioned how one could stand up and preach, and
then another performer do something opposite.
Zodwa hit back saying that the clergyman should focus on
his own craft and not disrupt her getting coins.
"Gospel artists are paid, just like me, by the
promoters and they can refuse money if they want. I will be there, no matter
what he says. He must go to church and let people pay him in tithe and leave us
to make our money."
Zodwa is one of several SA artists who were booked to
perform at the Baceth Music Festival in Eswatini in August, alongside Babes
Wodumo and DJ Tira.
