ACASWA PRESIDENT BLASTS ‘CHEEKS’
MBABANE – The gospel music fraternity is associated with peace, love and unity, this according to the teachings of the Bible; but is that still the case in the country?
The two giants in the gospel music industry, Mandla ‘Cheeks’ Nxumalo and Mzwakhe Myeni, were recently at loggerheads again.
In recent events, Myeni lashed out at Nxumalo for sending him promotional messages on WhatsApp.
In his message to Nxumalo, Myeni blatantly requests him to stop sending the messages.
“Brother, I suggest that you should not send me your advertising messages and I do not understand why you are doing so. First, you never apologised kulobuluhlata lowabenta kimi (the rudeness you inflicted on me).
Useless
“Secondly, you write bad news about me on your social media. Thirdly, you take that useless story to another media house. Kwekugcina (lastly), when I tried to make peace with you you decided to block me on your phone. Yewena skhohlakali hlukana nami (stay away from me),” read the WhatsApp message from Myeni’s phone to Nxumalo.
This altercation is not new as Nxumalo once blasted ACASWA on Facebook regarding the way himself and his team were treated during businessman Victor Gamedze’s memorial service at Prince of Wales ground in Mbabane about two months ago.
When contacted, Myeni denied knowing Nxumalo.
However, Nxumalo sang a different tune by not denying receiving the message. In fact, Nxumalo simply stated that Myeni was well within his right to send the request.
“I sent a WhatsApp broadcast message promoting Worship Encounter 2 to my contacts and he unfortunately got it by mistake. Myeni is well within his rights to request that he does not like my message.
Apologise
“I sincerely apologise to him for receiving it and I have no comment on the rest of the listed issues,” said Nxumalo.
When contacted, ACASWA PRO Ronnie Dlamini said he could not comment.
“I have no comment as this is an issue between two people,” said Dlamini.
Swaziland National Council of Arts and Culture (SNCAC) CEO Stanley Dlamini said this was a tricky situation which he was still to look into.
