While Rebecca crawls down when moved by the spirit during her performance, she runs up and down on the stage. Siphumelele Mbambo, a diamond discovered by Lindelani Mkhize is making waves in the gospel industry. With a huge break to be part of Joyous Celebration 13, her performance was outstanding being original and zionic. Because of her remarkable performance on joyous 13, she went up to joyous 14 where she blessed the country with a extraordinary performance on the song; "Ndujulise". Her zion outfits, unique voice and entertaining performance are what bring her to light when she is on stage. From being no one and nothing to be one of the highly loved gospel singers, Sphumelele made a huge jump. She surely should feel the grace of God in her life.
She has made it big in the industry and has her own album now
This is her performing Ndijulise on Joyous 14 keeping the people screaming and wanting more
