Award-winning Zimbabwean worship minister Everton Mlalazi is taking his latest project Great God on a whirlwind regional tour, beginning this Saturday, February 21, 2026, in Lusaka, Zambia at 1600hours.
The highly anticipated kickoff concert will be held at Blessing Centre Emmasdale, where fans are already building excitement around the new body of work.
From Lusaka, Mlalazi heads to South Africa in March for a show at Carnival City, before returning home for performances in Masvingo in April and Bulawayo in May.
June sees the Muri Mutsvene hitmaker back in Johannesburg, while August takes him west to Nigeria. The tour continues in Kenya in September, before rounding off with concerts in Mutare and Harare.
In Lusaka, Mlalazi will share the stage with Pastor Washy, Vocal Base, Asante, God’s Envoys, Mwenda Shimunzhila and Fungisai M, promising a night of spirited worship. Tickets are available via Tikiti, priced at K100 for early birds and K250 for VIP early bird access.
Released on January 2, 2026, In The Presence Vol. 3: Great God marks the third instalment in Mlalazi’s deeply reflective worship series.
Increasingly known as “Minister Mlalazi,” the singer has steadily moved beyond the label of conventional gospel artist, positioning himself instead as a curator of sacred atmosphere and intentional praise.
The 14-track offering is less a commercial album and more a devotional journey — rooted in African gospel expression yet shaped by contemporary worship sensibilities. Meditative and unhurried, the project invites communion rather than spectacle.
The album opens with the reverent Muri Mutsvene, featuring Oncemore Six, before reaching an early crescendo with the title track Great God, a powerful collaboration with Nigerian gospel star Moses Bliss.
Rather than competing vocally, the duo leans into collective exaltation, allowing the song’s central message to resonate fully.
Balancing intimacy with congregational appeal, Mlalazi moves seamlessly from prayerful reflections such as Munondida Ndakadaro and Ndinoda Kuona to uplifting praise anthems like Ngaavongwe and Makabongwe.
As the Great God tour gathers momentum, the Lusaka show sets the tone for what promises to be a spiritually charged regional journey — one that continues to affirm Mlalazi’s growing influence on the African gospel stage.
