What better way to welcome a brand-new year than with an unforgettable night of praise and worship?
On January 1st, gospel music icon Janet Manyowa gave her fans a heavenly treat with her sold-out concert, A Night of Thanksgiving (ANOT) 2025!
The Harare International Conference Centre came alive with soulful melodies and electric performances from a star-studded lineup, including Patience Masiyambiri, Ellard & Sharon, Lebo Sekgobela, and Everton Mlalazi.
Each act left the audience in awe, setting the perfect stage for the night’s grand finale.
When Janet Manyowa stepped onto the stage, dressed in a stunning burgundy ensemble, the packed auditorium erupted in thunderous applause.
Kicking things off with her beloved hit Zadzisa, she had the crowd singing and swaying along to every note.
Her commanding stage presence and vocal prowess reaffirmed why she’s one of Zimbabwe’s most celebrated gospel artists.
The energy soared even higher with standout performances by Zimpraise Choir, whose lively medleys and dance moves lit up the room, followed by the powerhouse Minister Michael Mahendere.
The night was a testament to the incredible talent and unity among gospel artists, bringing together worshippers from all walks of life.
This year, Janet added a unique twist to ANOT by splitting the concert into two exciting segments. The second half featured Pastor Bonnie, Bridget Ndanga, Dr. Tumi, and Takesure Zamar, creating a powerful collaboration of local and South African talent.
Missed ANOT 2025? You missed out on a magical experience! But don’t worry—Janet Manyowa has already set her sights on 2026.
With her ever-surprising creativity, we can only imagine what’s in store for next year. Stay tuned!
