A Night of Thanksgiving, affectionately known as ANOT, has blossomed into a beloved tradition for Christians across Zimbabwe, marking a joyous start to the New Year.
Each January 1st, this uplifting gospel event, meticulously curated by the talented Janet Manyowa, draws countless believers who come to share their testimonies and embrace the spirit of gratitude.
Held at the renowned HICC at Rainbow Towers, ANOT 2025 elevated the experience to new heights, featuring an extended program that went on until midnight.
The atmosphere was electric, with both sessions filled to capacity. Many of those who attended found themselves seeking out space in the aisles, on the stairs, and anywhere they could fit, as the venue was teeming.
The evening commenced with the soulful sounds of Patience Masiyambiri, Ellard and Sharon, followed by the dynamic South African powerhouse, Lebo Sekgobela.
Host Janet Manyowa, followed up backed by an orchestra, their combination was one for the books.
The spectacular line-up also featured the talented Zimpraise and the revered Minister Michael Mahendere, both of whom brought their unique flair to the stage.
After a brief intermission, the second session unfolded with an equally impressive roster, showcasing the extraordinary talents of Takesure Zama, Bridget Ndanga, Pastor Bonnie Deuschle, and Dr. Tumi.
Each performance was met with enthusiastic applause and cheers, as the audience revelled in the uplifting messages woven into each song.
Janet Manyowa returned to grace the stage once more, her voice soaring and filling the hall with an unmistakable warmth that resonated deeply within the hearts of all present.
ANOT includes a heartfelt feature known as The Gratitude Wall, where believers express their thankfulness to the Lord.
This unique concept invites participants to write down their blessings, share testimonies from previous years, and offer words of love and encouragement.
The wall serves as a beautiful testament to the community’s collective gratitude and faith, creating a space for reflection and inspiration that enhances the spirit of the event.
