MULTI-AWARD-WINNING gospel star Jumbo Nyangiwe, who has won the Crown Gospel Music Awards Best Gospel Song three times, is crossing his fingers that he will win it again.
The 32-year-old musician from Umzimkhulu in KZN made history by consistently winning Best Gospel Song with every album since his debut in 2017.
This time, his nomination for Best Gospel Song with the new EP, Makabongwe uJesu, adds another chapter to his journey.
The awards will be held at FNB Stadium in Joburg on 26 November.
Makabongwe uJesu hitmaker told Daily Sun it would be a good thing to maintain his good record with every album or EP he has released.

"I hope that my fans will continue to vote for me, and I will be humbled to see all my albums and EPs receiving the top award.
"I sing gospel, but my big secret is that I don't sing for gospel people only. I sing for all people. That's why I'm doing many features with other genres, including maskandi. I trust that even maskandi fans will vote for me in numbers," he said.
Having scooped Best Gospel Song in 2017, 2019 and 2021, Jumbo is rallying his fans to vote for him once again.
"I respect people because they are the ones who decide my wins. I'm what I am because of them, and I have what I have because of them," he said.
Jumbo is also nominated for Best Gospel Itende against Londiwe Nxumalo and Sandiswa Maseko, while he is also nominated for Best Gospel Male Artist against Rofhiwa Manyanga, Omega Kenou and Xolisa Kwinana.
