gospel artist, Pastor Benjamin Dube.

Zamajobe Sithole is evidently impacting the South
African music scene with her debut album titled,
NDAWO YAMI (My Place) the album that announces an
arrival of substantial new talent on the continent’s
recorded music scene, has just achieve GOLD sales
status (sales in excess of 25 000 units).
First up is her astonishingly beautiful voice, which
captivates with ease, and leaves listeners smitten
in its powerful wake. Zamajobe has never been one
for the strident, at times overbearing vocals
beloved by so many of today’s stars - as NDAWO YAMI
more than reveals, Zamajobe uses her voice at times
sparingly, often with a slightly breathless edge,
and always plump with just enough emotion to talk
directly into the heart of anyone in hearing range.
Next is Zamajobe’s performing ability and her
ability to dominate a stage with the ease of an
individual born to entertain. Her way with a song on
a live stage was first evident on 2003’s Idols
contest where the singer made it into the Top 10
and, during her performances, earned a devoted
network of fans drawn to Zamajobe’s magic.
Zamajobe
Born in Frankfort on the 19th of February and raised
in Vosloorus, Zamajobe Sithole started singing
professionally at the age of nine with Pastor
Benjamin Dube and has featured on several of his
recordings to date.
Her early Christian and Gospel musical influences
have contributed to Zama’s live performance
experience as well as her inclination to express
herself with sincerity vocally, and weave soulful
elements into the music she writes.
Zamajobe
She started playing guitar at 17 and has experienced
the live circuit in Johannesburg performing both at
