Though it's unknown where the drama and animosity stem from, the Bishop has dedicated his time to keeping his late wife's memory alive and is apparently not getting the help he needs from her family.
Crown Gospel Awards preparations kick off
Despite the hostility from his in-laws, this has not stopped Bishop Mpendulo Nkambule from celebrating his late wife's legacy at the upcoming Crown Gospel Awards.
Briefly News reported on the changes to the 2024 ceremony, which officially takes place on 17 November as scheduled despite Zanele's absence.
With a new venue and a bid to seek out sponsors ahead of the event, the Crown Gospel Awards board plans to celebrate Zanele's life and legacy through the work she did:
"It's an unfamiliar turf to be here in the absence of Zanele. But we are here to celebrate her legacy, keep her memory alive, and celebrate her achievements."
