GOSPEL artists held a peaceful protest outside the SABC demanding to be given airplay and a chance to showcase their talents on television shows on Friday, 14 May.
Speaking to
Daily Sun, Godfrey Mahlangu said they come in peace with the hope of getting a clear message across.
“All we want is to be heard! We make good music and have talent. We just don’t have the platform to display it. I believe it’s because we don’t have money and aren’t recognised yet. But how’s that going to happen if we are not given a chance,” said Godfrey.
