South African gospel music legend Benjamin Dube has made the tough decision to leave Spirit of Praise, the gospel group he has anchored since 2008.
Dube took to social media on Monday to break the news to his fans and followers with an official statement.
He explained that the decision was not made lightly, and came after extensive prayer, reflection and discussions with key players.
“The decision was not made lightly as Spirit of Praise has been an important part of Reverend Dube’s ministry journey over the years. Through the platform, countless lives have been touched, worship has been elevated and the message of Christ has reached multitudes locally and globally. However, as seasons change, so do assignments,” read the statement.
“Reverend Dube believes the time has come to focus fully on the next phase of his calling, which includes expanding his personal ministry, mentoring the next generation of gospel artists and pursuing projects aligned with the unique mandate God has placed on his life.
“He remains deeply and eternally grateful to Spirit Music Group, the Spirit of Praise team, and the owners of Spirit of Praise, Aubrey Peacock and Matthew Nkabinde, for the years of fruitful partnership, mutual respect and impactful ministry. Reverend Dube departs with nothing but love, honour and profound appreciation in his heart.” – SOWETAN
