“Our submissions period saw us listening to hours of varied gospel music from each corner of our diverse country,” Trace Southern Africa managing director Valentine Gaudin-Muteba said.

“We were very impressed with the singles that a lot of artists submitted and it was a difficult road to nailing it down to the final ten. We are confident that the finalists that we have chosen represent all South Africans and Africans.”

Voting closes on 6 March and fans can vote for their favourite finalists here.
