Hlophe said his resignation follows internal disagreements over efforts to have local gospel artists from Nkomazi included in the Ligwalagwala FM Birthday Bash line-up.

According to Hlophe, he was asked to write a letter to the event organisers advocating for the inclusion of gospel artists. However, he raised concerns that the directive did not come from the association collectively.

“I resigned today after I was asked yesterday to write a letter fighting the Ligwalagwala FM Birthday Bash organisers and demanding that they include gospel artists from Nkomazi in the line-up. As much as I believe in pushing for the growth of local artists, especially my friends and peers, I could not allow my name to be in that letter,” he said.

He added that the decision was not taken by the full committee.

“It was not a collective mandate, hence it became even harder for me to execute,” he explained.

In his formal resignation letter addressed to the association’s president, Hlophe cited increasing personal commitments as another reason for stepping down.

“Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation from my position as Secretary General of the Nkomazi Gospel Artists Association, effective immediately. This decision has not been an easy one to make. However, due to an increasing number of projects that require my full and undivided attention, I am unfortunately no longer able to dedicate the time and commitment that the association rightfully deserves,” he wrote.

Hlophe expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve in the role and wished the association success going forward.

“It has been an honour to serve in this role and to contribute to the growth and development of the association. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such dedicated and passionate individuals. I wish the Nkomazi Gospel Artists Association continued success in all its future endeavours,” he said.
