The Zimbabwean gospel music scene is preparing for a historic night as Bonnie Deuschle and Janet Manyowa join the lineup for CeCe Winans’ “More Than This” Tour stop in Harare.
The concert is scheduled for August 26, 2025, at the Celebration Centre, and anticipation is already high for what promises to be a landmark event.
Deuschle, founder of the iconic Celebration Choir, will provide the opening ministry alongside the ensemble, while Manyowa, one of Zimbabwe’s most prominent contemporary gospel voices, will also take the stage before Winans’ headline performance.
According to Lyncolin Kapswara, Event Director at Events by GEC, the organisers of the concert, the inclusion of Deuschle and Manyowa brings a uniquely Zimbabwean depth to the evening.
“Bonnie Deuschle has been a cornerstone of Zimbabwean worship music for decades, and her leadership with the Celebration Choir has touched countless lives,” Kapswara said.
“Janet Manyowa represents a new generation of gospel excellence, with her music resonating far beyond our borders. Having them minister alongside CeCe Winans creates a powerful blend of heritage, innovation, and faith that audiences can expect to be both uplifting and unforgettable.”
Kapswara added that the concert is designed to offer more than music: “This is not just about performances. It’s about creating an atmosphere of worship and inspiration that transcends cultures and generations.”
Winans, one of the most decorated gospel artists in history, will headline the evening as part of her global “More Than This” tour, which has been met with sold-out venues and critical acclaim.
For Zimbabwean audiences, the concert is being framed as a rare convergence of international and local talent. Tickets are already in high demand, with organisers expecting a capacity crowd.
