The South African talented singer Naledi Aphiwe found herself in trouble recently regarding the controversial comments she made regarding the Shembe church.

According to Sunday World, the Romeo and Juliet hitmaker joined in on the mass controversy on social media where many netizens bashed the church's older men courting young girls who are still pure to make them their wives.

Naledi wrote on social media:

"I’d rather be single than become a widow at a young age because you can definitely see that these grandpas could die anytime. I am getting myself involved in this mainly because these old men will be suffering from high blood pressure and one will need to give them an injection.

"So, I am going to judge you until you decide to get a divorce. I ask myself that every morning you wake up next to the old man, haibo they need to be taken to an old age home and leave our young sisters alone."

Shembe church responds to Naledi Aphiwe's remarks

Shortly after the singer's comments went viral, the church decided to respond to her remarks. The spokesperson of the Shembe Church, Thokozani Mncwabe said that they were offended by the singer who celebrated her song being certified platinum.

He said:

"We’ve noted her remarks, and we want to warn her. She must stop criticising our church because we are not paying attention to her. We also don’t involve ourselves in her music business, so she must leave us alone. She is young, but she is a lost soul, troubled by her demons. Unfortunately, we don’t have time for such people. But if she wants our attention, she’ll get it."
