Multitasking Gospel singer


During the day Lulama Kwani is a teacher at Beyond Kindergarten Pre-School in Soshanguve Block XX. After school she is a gospel musician and a preacher.
This 44 -year-old left her job at the Department of Water and Forestry Affairs in 2008 just to fulfil her calling.

calling to help the comminity
"I resigned where I worked because God called me to serve Him and preach gospel to the people," Kwani said.
She started singing at an early age and released her first gospel album titled “My first love,” in 2008. In the same year she became a church member at Grace Christian Centre where she managed to touch many lives through the word of God.
One of the reasons she followed her calling was to reach out to the youth.
"There are a lot of things that are happening in this country. Nyaope is having a negative impact on the lives of our children and I hope that things will change," she said.
During her journey as a musician and preacher she finally decided to open a pre-school in February 2011. "I love being with children. I take it as a ministry and my happiness rests in them," Kwani said.
According to her at the pre-school they teach pupils about Christianity.
Nomsa Nawa, a teacher at the pre-school expressed her satisfaction with Kwani.
"She is a good boss who believes in God. Parents and children are happy with her effort towards them," Nawa said.
In the afternoon from 6:00 pm until 12:00 am Kwani usually has practise sessions with her band.  They prepare for upcoming performances. She recently performed at a fundraising concert at Thabang mental home in Soshanguve Block S. 
She said that on 14 December they will visit local orphanages and help raise money for them.
