NEWS of disagreements between the founders of Joyous Celebration, Lindelani Mkhize, Pastor Mthunzi Namba and Pastor Jabu Hlongwane, have worried many people, especially brothers and pastors.
Last month news broke that there was a dispute between Lindelani and his colleagues Mthunzi and Jabu over money.
The two are said to have accused Lindelani of the group’s money, but Lindelani issued a statement in which he said that everything said about him was nonsense, and revealed that Mthunzi decided to leave the group.
One of the servants who misbehaved, is the broadcaster of Highway Radio, Dennis “Nzonzonzo” Ntombela. He said that the group respects him a lot for his contributions in producing star musicians in this country, some of whom represent us overseas such as Xolani Mdlalose.
“I know its founders to be people who are very mature intellectually and spiritually who will not behave like children when they are so grown up. I can say that differences in opinions are not a problem, so if someone chooses to leave it is not a problem, the matter can be bad if someone underestimates such a work.”
He said this group has more than 70 people who support their families. “We will always support it because it has brought out the talents of people we don’t know. It is a building center that has produced musicians of the highest quality. You can only hear a musician who has gone through it, even when he is independent.”
He said that because they left together and have grown up, they have shown the children how things and problems are solved.
“Those who will do it now will know that it is a history that will be left behind in the world, read by generations, others have recorded movies on the way they handled this issue. We are pastors, we pray for them and we will always support Joyous Celebration in everything. Remember the name Joyous Celebration, so no enemy should be allowed to interfere with the joy of believers and develop such skills,” concluded Pastor Ntombela who is very close to this group as he once took them overseas when they recorded an album called Live At Potter’s HouseDallas, Texas in 2017.
