OVER 10 000 AYOBA NOMINATIONS RECORDED

By Phetsile Mamba | 2022-08-12

MTN iPraise has announced the Top 10 artists who have been selected through public nominations.

MTN iPraise Project Director Tammy Dlamini said over 10 000 Ayoba nominations and 8 000 SMS votes were recorded. The Top 10 list, chosen solely through nominations from gospel music fans, is as follows:
Dlamini revealed that five of the 10 artists stand a chance of performing at this year’s MTN iPraise Gospel Music Festival, which is set to take place on October 1 at Mavuso Trade Centre in Manzini. “We saw overwhelming support during the nomination phase.

Emaswati really displayed their support in a heart-warming way. We would like to remind the public to download Ayoba and to use it to submit their Top 10 votes. Every Ayoba vote not only equals two votes but each voter stands a chance of winning prizes on the app as well as enjoying regular updates on the event leading up to October 1.

Interested supporters should also stay tuned to the MTN iPraise social media channels and various media outlets for additional updates.” Dlamini said.

Top five

The public can now vote for their Top five artists on Ayoba, MTN’s fastest growing social media platform, by sending the artist’s code to 7888 6161 or by dialing *7768#, selecting option 1 and entering the artists’ code at a cost of E1.

Ayoba is free and counts for two votes while SMS costs E1 per vote and only counts as one vote.

Artists’ names will no longer count as valid votes. Voting lines close on August 28.
“In addition to the top five who will be voted in to perform at this year’s stage, five artists have already been selected by the organisers for this year’s line-up. Festival-goers can look forward to watching,” he added.
