Hotel Africana’s Nile Hall was turned into a spiritual sanctuary on Saturday, as worship leader Godfrey Kwezi led an electrifying worship event titled “Mujje Tusinze” (Come Let Us Worship), which called upon Christian believers to unite in praise.
The event, which attracted a massive turnout, was a stark contrast to Kwezi’s previous performance in Kikoni, where the audience numbers were only modest.
Kwezi, known for his deep devotion to worship, filled the hall with an undeniable spiritual presence. Worshippers were visibly moved, many falling to their knees in prayer and speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit moved among them. The atmosphere was so intense it drew comparisons to the biblical day of Jesus' ascension.
Unlike the typical worship events where English takes lead, Mujje Tusinze stood out as the entire worship session was conducted in Luganda. Kwezi delivered heartfelt renditions of songs like "Awo Wooli," "Byonna Bibyo," "Gwe Gwenjagala," and "Tojulukuka," which resonated deeply with the predominantly Luganda-speaking audience.
Kwezi's dedication to his calling is evident in his choice not to perform at secular events, a stance he elaborated on during the event. “I believe God hasn’t given me the grace to be there yet. I haven’t been instructed to perform on such events, but I know my colleagues have the grace and energy to do so,” Kwezi shared.

He urged fellow gospel artistes to trust in God’s timing. “It’s not about competition or releasing songs constantly. Some people complain that I release just one song a year, but I am not chasing anyone. I follow the lead of the Holy Spirit, not my own desires.”
The event’s patron, Pastor Roland Mwesigwa, expressed gratitude to the audience for their overwhelming support and revealed the inspiration behind Mujje Tusinze. “No matter how anointed you are, it is God who creates the atmosphere for you. For years, we’ve seen Nigerian gospel artistes coming to Uganda for worship gatherings. Today, I’m privileged to say we have our own worship leader in Godfrey Kwezi,” Mwesigwa said.
Kwezi’s spiritual father, Pastor Isaac Kyobe Kiwewesi, also graced the event, leading the congregation into a powerful worship session. The event was further highlighted by the presence of other renowned gospel artistes and pastors, including Brian Lubega and Pastor Herbert Twina, who all joined in to witness and support Kwezi’s worship ministry.
