In 1996, she released her first American record. The following year, she signed with the EMI subsidiary Hemisphere and released Free At Last: South African Gospel in November. She supported the album with an international tour. In 2004, she began her show on SABC 2 called It's Gospel Time, which is still running 10 years later. The awards she has received in recognition of her very impressive career in the music industry are too many to even begin counting. But, in those, there are 15 SAMAs and an Honorary Doctorate, an achievement that has not been reached by any South African artist in all genres combined. She is undoubtedly the Gospel Legend of the African continent. Her estimated net worth is $95 Million.

You gave me joy and cared for me here I am sworn today
I'll live in darkness so many years
Was never told much about You wanna waste no time
Now I'll never be a fool again
I'll seek Your ways always wherever I go
I'm Your child, please verse me
You rescued me, You chased away the devil
And snatched me home, from his jaws of death
Thank You not leaving me to die in my sins
And You made this world a better place for me
Never, never be a fool again
