“Dr Rebecca Malope to Receive Another Lifetime Achievement Award at Basadi In Music Awards”
GOSPEL legend Dr Rebecca Malope will be honoured with another lifetime award.
She’ll be given the award at the Basadi In Music Awards on Saturday, 2 August.
Dr Rebecca recently received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Metro FM Awards in May. Now, she’s being honoured again.
She told Daily Sun that she was honoured to receive the award.
“Receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s Basadi In Music Awards is such an honour. To be recognised alongside so many incredible women in the industry is deeply humbling, and I’m grateful beyond words.
“To still be seen and celebrated after so many years in this industry is a great blessing from God – one that I never take for granted,” she said.
Dr Rebecca, who is also a designer, said she’s working on a dress for the awards.
“I’m currently in my sewing studio, creating a dress from scratch to mark this moment. It’s not just a celebration of where I’ve been, but of where I’m going. I’m stepping into a new chapter, adding fashion design to the journey, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead,” she said.
With more than 36 albums and 10 million records, Hloni Modise, CEO of Basadi In Music Awards, said they felt Dr Rebecca was the perfect recipient.
“Honouring Dr Rebecca Malope is more than symbolic. It is essential. Her music has uplifted, healed, and given voice to untold emotions and faith. She embodies everything the Basadi platform stands for: courage, excellence, and purpose,” Modise said.
SABC2 is the official broadcaster of the awards. Yonwaba Pangeni, channel head SABC2, said they can’t wait to celebrate Dr Rebecca.
“SABC2 is proud to showcase women whose stories have shaped our nation. Dr Malope is one such beacon. Her music has transcended time.”
The ceremony will be hosted at the Joburg Theatre in Braamfontein, Joburg.
