The Glamis Arena transformed into a celestial sanctuary on Monday night as American gospel sensation, Maverick City, descended upon the Zimbabwean capital as part of their Kingdom World Tour. The concert was a divine spectacle that left the audience spellbound and yearning for more.

From the moment the group took the stage, a palpable wave of excitement swept through the crowd. Maverick City, renowned for their soul-stirring melodies and heartfelt lyrics, delivered a performance that was nothing short of extraordinary. Their repertoire, infused with songs of hope and resilience, resonated deeply with the audience, transporting them to a realm of spiritual euphoria.

The collaboration with Nigerian music maestro, Tim Godfrey, was a match made in heaven. Their joint rendition of the infectious hit, "Big God," sent the arena into a frenzy of worship and praise. The harmonious blend of their talents created a musical masterpiece that will be etched in the hearts of concertgoers for years to come.

Behind the scenes, the road to the concert was not without its challenges. Local support acts had withdrawn from the event, casting a shadow over the preparations. However, the show must go on, and it did, with resounding triumph. Gospel luminary, Kirk Franklin, took a moment to address the crowd, emphasizing the unifying power of faith. "I had heard there was talk before we came here about what we believe in. I would tell you the answer is Jesus. When you go back home, just know that there is no other than Jesus," he declared, sending a powerful message of hope and unity.

Maverick City's debut performance in Zimbabwe was a historic moment, a testament to the group's global appeal and the universal language of gospel music. As they bid farewell to the exhilarated Harare crowd, anticipation for their next stop, Ghana, reached fever pitch. The Kingdom World Tour is undoubtedly leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and souls of audiences worldwide.
