Evelyne stressed the importance of standing together as a community to support Mukabwa during this challenging time.
She encouraged people to donate whatever they could to help the ailing musician complete her treatment.
The musician also shared a clip praying with others as they surrounded the ailing star in her hospital room.

Mukabwa's message to women
Mukabwa once advised men to stop feeling threatened when their women start making money or moving up career ladders.
She said that men should learn to lead their women with a strong mentality because they are not weak vessels.
The minister of the gospel further encouraged women to go out and do something with their lives to build the nation and their families.
She also urged women to be humble and respectful, should they start making money and work together with their spouses in building a solid family.
