Letter to chief editor Swazi Observer

Dear Musa
Many people in England have contacted me today to say how great the news is about the Christ worshippers Gospel Choir winning best traditional Song. We know and love them very much after they Visited England last year. They were amazing, singing Dancing in traditional Swazi style, they sang at over 35 venues, schools, colleges, even before the Lord Mayor of Birmingham. Also on the World Music Stage in Birmingham, even live on the BBC radio, and Newstyle Radio. They gave testimony's to Gods goodness to them in spite of facing many difficulties. We saw Alcoholics and drug addicts cry like children before God and men as the choir sang. Teachers and teenage children went back to their classes either singing the songs or crying with emotion. They were the most amazing ambassadors for Swaziland that you could ever have wished for, and we are so pleased to hear this great news please pass on our thanks to the judges and all those that voted for them.
On a sadder note most of the members of the choir had to stay out in the car park because they could not afford to the tickets for the event. This is an indictment on the organisers and a shame on the church of Christ This would never have happened in England. They were not worried about it they were just so pleased to have won.
