Malope rose to international stardom in the late 1990s.
Over the years, Malope has been known as South Africa's "Queen of Gospel", but she has also touched audiences worldwide. She sings mostly her own compositions, and has toured in the UK and released a few records in the US with great success.
l Sbu Buthelezi, spokesperson for World Gospel PowerHouse, said that the third gospel music conference, Iziko, would be held in Johannesburg this year. "We call on all gospel artists, musicians, keyboard players, worship teams from churches, pastors and all the people who play a role in the industry to attend this conference.
"Iziko is a platform for all key stakeholders in the gospel music industry to get together and share and process information, make plans, learn from each other and polish their craft," he said.
