VOC has organised this event to preach the good news through gospel music. The station has been operating for the past 29 years in the Kingdom. The management of the station has found it fit and appropriate that they celebrate the mileage, according to the national director.
Mthethwa said the event will give people an opportunity to partner with God in raising funds for the station. This will be a twofold event: celebrating 29 years of vibrant broadcasting the good news of Jesus Christ and partnering with God in raising funds for the station.
Tickets to the show cost E50 and are available at Power Fashion Factory in Mbabane, Fish n Chips Manzini Bhunu Mall, VOC offices, and Destiny Music and Sounds in Mbabane.
VOC is a Christian radio station founded in 1994, and it’s started its broadcast in 1995 at the hub of the beautiful Kingdom of Eswatini. The mission is to reach out to the people of Eswatini and beyond by preaching and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ through mass media and spiritually nurturing those to bear fruit (holistically).
VOC broadcasts 24 hours a day live via 9 FM transmitters, internet broadcasting, and on-set top boxes, reaching the entire nation and beyond the Eswatini borders since they have spilled over into Mpumalanga and KwaZulu Natal Provinces in South Africa and Mozambique. VOCs are broadcast in both English and SiSwati. In addition to the two channels, they also have an app supported by Android smartphones, which makes them reach even more places.
