South Africa is buzzing — and not for the reasons you’d expect.
Dineo Moloisane, a devoted fan of gospel legend Rev Benjamin Dube, has gone viral after posting a video of herself crying.
Why?
Because Rev Dube has announced his departure from Spirit of Praise.
Yes, THE Spirit of Praise.
The gospel ensemble that has touched millions of souls is now missing one of its most iconic voices.
And for Dineo, that change was simply too much to handle.
In the emotional video, Dineo sobs uncontrollably, struggling to find the words to describe her heartbreak.
“Where would he leave? Like, that’s the only music that touches me,” she says, her voice cracking with pain.
To her, Rev Dube’s voice isn’t just music.
It’s ministry.
It’s healing.
It’s home.
She explains how every time he sings, the soul of the performance soars and then settles, carrying listeners on a journey few others can
replicate.
The news hit her hard.
So hard that she admitted, “When I don’t see Rev Benjamin Dube’s name on it, I can’t listen.”
That’s how deep the connection runs.
And she’s not alone.
Thousands across social media echoed her sentiment.
Rev Dube isn’t just a performer — he’s a spiritual force.
Fans know that when he leads worship, something divine happens.
So when Dineo recorded herself in tears, some people criticized her.
They mocked the idea of someone crying on camera.
But others?
They felt it too.
Because for them, Rev Benjamin Dube’s departure from Spirit of Praise is personal.
Dineo didn’t just lose an artist.
She lost a guide, a voice that got her through life’s toughest moments.
It’s easy to laugh when you don’t understand.
But for those who’ve lived with his music, felt the anointing in his voice, and been transformed by it — this is grief.
Her post, filled with pain and sincerity, quickly gained attention.
She tagged Rev Dube repeatedly, hoping he might see how deeply his decision affected her.
And she’s not just a casual listener.
She admits, “I only listen to Rev Benjamin Dube gospel. Only.”
That level of devotion is rare.
But it explains the tears.
It explains the heartbreak.
And it explains why thousands are wondering the same thing:
Why did Rev Benjamin Dube leave Spirit of Praise?
The official reason hasn’t been shared publicly.
Speculation is everywhere.
Some say it’s a creative difference.
Others believe he’s embarking on a solo journey.
Whatever the truth is, it’s clear the absence is already being felt.
And Dineo’s raw, emotional response captured the collective heartbreak of a gospel community in mourning.
The video wasn’t polished.
It wasn’t scripted.
It was real.
And maybe that’s why it resonated.
Because in a world filled with filters and fakes, her tears told the truth.
Rev Benjamin Dube’s music has carried millions.
Now, his silence is just as powerful.
Will he return?
Will Spirit of Praise ever sound the same again?
Only time will tell.
But one thing’s certain:
Fans like Dineo Moloisane will be praying, hoping, and waiting.
Because for them, his voice isn’t just a sound.
It’s a sanctuary.
And without it, the music just doesn’t feel complete.
Stay tuned — this story is far from over.
