The nationally acclaimed and beloved gospel musician and producer, Solly Moholo, was seen driving around Louis Trichardt's busy streets on Saturday during the Easter weekend. Together with his crew, he agreed to join the kids at the Makhado FM's fourth birthday road show held in the Shoprite complex.
Moholo's presence lured more than a hundred people to come over and sing along with his tunes. He sang songs from his new slogan album, as well as his popular ones like Moruti Nthapelele, which means 'Lay hands on me, Pastor'. “In Moruti Nthapelele, I am trying to show that somebody who has wronged someone else within the community and was taken to prison for correction, can also change his or her wrong ways for good,” he said.
Moholo was in the company of Makhado Municipality's manager for disaster management, Mr Osmond Munzhelele. “Pastor Moholo's songs are inspiring and encouraging,” Munzhelele said.
The Soshanguve-born artist says that he was in the province for the Easter church conference of the Zion Christian Church in Polokwane, when he decided to pay a visit to his fans in Louis Trichardt. He had in his possession some DVDs and CDs which he sold to the public. He condemned acts of piracy and called upon music lovers to go for original products. “If you really love our music, you must buy originals and not fake copies,” he told the crowd of excited people.
Moholo says that he still considers himself one of the best-loved musicians in the country. Despite the spread of music piracy, he has so far managed to sell at least 10 000 units of his recently released album titled Comrades – Solomon. His next gospel album will come out in May this year, he promised his fans.
