This Easter, Zimbabwe’s gospel powerhouse Everton Mlalazi served fans a spiritual and musical treat with his brand-new single “Gwayana (Holy Lamb)” — and it couldn’t have come at a better time!
Released just in time for the Easter Holidays and Zimbabwe’s Independence Day on April 18, “Gwayana” is more than just a song — it’s an emotional journey, a powerful worship experience, and a musical reminder of the greatest love story ever told.
Visually Divine
Shot by the ever-creative Andy Cutta, the music video for “Gwayana” is a stunning visual blend of Bible-era storytelling and modern cinematic flair. With Mlalazi leading a white-robed choir, every frame radiates purpose and praise. The use of cutting-edge visuals brings the story of Jesus to life in a fresh, relatable way.

The Message Behind the Music
Speaking on the release, Mlalazi shared:
“Gwayana is not just a song. It’s a declaration of love, a cry of gratitude, and a reminder of the price that was paid for our salvation.”
Inspired by John 1:29 and Isaiah 53:7, the song dives deep into the meaning of Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb — a powerful theme for the Easter season.
“There is no greater story, no deeper love, no higher hope,” Mlalazi adds. “This song is a call to reflect, to celebrate, and to remember how much was given for us all.”
