‘UZanele Mbokazi-Nkambule wayenguvulindlela kwezobugcisa’
INkulumbuso yaKwaZulu-Natal, uArthur Thamsanqa Ntuli, uchaze ongasekhoyo uZanele Mbokazi-Nkambule njengovulindlela kwezobugcisa nomsasazi ohlonitshwayo nowasebenzisa iqonga lakhe ukukhuthaza.
Ukubhubha kukaMbokazi-Nkambule kuqinisekiswe ngumyeni wakhe uBishop Mpendulo Nkambule kwingxelo ngoMvulo. Ukubhubha kwakhe kuza emva kokulahlwa lidabi lokuqubisana nomhlaza wemiphunga eneminyaka engama52.
INkulumbuso yaKwaZulu-Natal uNtuli uthe, “Ndifumanise ngomothuko nosizi ngokusweleka komsasazi woKhozi FM, uZanele Mbokazi-Nkambule. UMbokazi-Nkambule wayenguvulindlela yaye wachukumisa ubomi babantu abaninzi.
“Wayengumsasazi, kodwa abaninzi baya kukhumbula ukuba wayengumseki weembasa iiCrown Gospel Awards, ezidla ngokubizwa ngokuba ziiGrammys zomculo wegospile eMzantsi Afrika ukusukela oko zasungulwa ngo2007.”
UNtuli uthi bebenethemba lokuba uza kuphila ngenxa yokuba uMbokazi-Nkambule ebengengomsasazi nje, ebesisibane sethemba nenkuthazo kwicandelo losasazo.
“Ukuthanda kwakhe unomathotholo kunye nokuzinikela ekuboneleleni ngomxholo osemgangathweni kumenze waba yinxalenye yoluntu lwethu, kwaye ukungabikho kwakhe kuya kuvakala ngokwenene.
“Ngokunikela ngobomi bakhe ukuze aphakamise abanye ngokusasaza imiyalezo yethemba, ukholo, kunye nokomelela, ufanelwe kukuqhwatyelwa izandla. Kungesi sizathu ndiphakamise ukuba urhulumente athathe inxaxheba ngokusesikweni kumalungiselelo omngcwabo ekhokelwa lusapho,” utshilo uNtuli.
Le nzalelwane yaseDurban uMbokazi-Nkambule ibingumsasazi woKhozi FM wenkqubo ethi ‘Eshilo’ rhoqo ngeeCawe ukusukela ngentsimbi yethoba kusasa ukuya kweyeshumi elinesibini emva kwemini. Ukwangumseki weembasa zevangeli ezidumileyo, iiCrown Gospel Awards.
Inkonzo yesikhumbuzo sakhe iza kubanjelwa kwiiofisi zeSABC eDurban ngoLwesine.
