Ten contestants from all over the country sailed through to the finals of the third edition of the Rofhiwa Manyaga Gospel Star search after three days of gruelling auditions.

Mr Rofhiwa Manyaga, well-known gospel singer and the father of the event, said the competition had reached its peak and that there would be prizes galore, with R10 000 cash and a recording deal as the first prize.

Come 28 December, sparks will fly at the Thohoyandou Town Hall," said Manyaga.
