Renowned gospel singer and reverend, Benjamin Dube, has officially announced his departure from Spirit of Praise, the gospel ensemble he has anchored since its formation in 2008.
Taking to social media on Monday, Dube shared an emotional statement confirming the news. He described the decision as deeply personal and not taken lightly, explaining that it came after “prayer, reflection, and conversations with key stakeholders.”
“For many years, Spirit of Praise has been a significant part of Reverend Dube’s ministry,” the statement read. “Through this platform, lives have been touched, worship elevated, and the message of Christ spread across South Africa and beyond. But as seasons change, so do assignments.”
Reverend Dube revealed that he will now focus on expanding his personal ministry, mentoring young gospel artists, and embarking on new projects aligned with his divine calling.
He also expressed heartfelt gratitude to Spirit Music Group, the Spirit of Praise team, and the ensemble’s founders, Aubrey Peacock and Matthew Nkabinde. “Reverend Dube departs with nothing but love, honour, and profound appreciation in his heart,” the statement concluded.
