Joyous Jabu in sex scandal-Oh baby!
INTERNATIONALLY-acclaimed gospel singer, Joyous Celebration founder and pastor Jabu Hlongwane is allegedly failing to keep his "bishop" zipped in.
CRYING TOGETHER: Jabu Hlongwane and Kuki at a memorial service. Picture by Elvis NtombelaHe told me that what hurt him most was the fact that it didn't cross his mind that Jabu would sleep with his wife
His underling, Thulani Mncube accuses Hlongwane of Cross Ministries Church in Sandton, of wrecking his marriage.
Mncube is divorcing his wife of five years, Kuki Mncube.
Kuki vacated their matrimonial house in Jozi about four months ago after failing to cajole her husband into forgiving her for her indiscretion.
A close family friend, who asked not to be named, tells us Thulani became violently ill after discovering that Hlongwane, who was a programme director at his wedding in 2005, was allegedly rogering his wife behind his back.
Our source claims Thulani learnt of the affair when he stumbled on an amorous e-mail between Hlongwane and Kuki, a former backing vocalist for Joyous Celebration.
"He wanted to send a quotation to a businessman for a job he had done for him, so he asked his wife to lend him her laptop," says the source.
It is alleged Thulani was greeted by e-mails between his wife and Hlongwane in which they exchanged "pleasantries".
"He confronted her about the affair but she denied it," says the source.
When he gave her the third degree about the e-mails, Kuki wept and apologised for committing adultery.
Thulani allegedly lost his cool and klapped her.
He was so shattered that he'd return from work and cry himself to sleep or drink himself into a stupor in a desperate attempt to assuage his pain.
"He told me that what hurt him most was the fact that it didn't cross his mind that Jabu would sleep with his wife.
"Jabu was like a brother to him. He would come to their house with his wife Sibongile and take them out for lunch.
"He said Jabu would hug and kiss his wife and Thulani would do the same to Jabu's wife.
"They were like family. I mean, this guy was even a programme director at Thulani's wedding," says the source.
It is alleged Thulani mustered the courage to confront his boss about the matter.
Hlongwane first denied that he had had an affair with Kuki but allegedly confessed when Thulani produced proof.
"He then asked if they could talk about it like men."
Thulani drove to Hlongwane's house in Weltevredenpark, west of Jozi, at about midnight so they could talk about the matter.
But Hlongwane hid behind his front door and told him to leave.
Thulani left when Hlongwane threatened to call the police.
It is alleged Hlongwane added emotional abuse and arrogance to his ungodly repertoire.
"He started telling people at Joyous Celebration that Thulani was jealous of him and he is stuck at Joyous because he has nowhere else to go," says the source.
Upon hearing this, Thulani held a series of meetings with other Joyous Celebration bosses - conductor Lindelani Mkhize and pastor Mthunzi Namba - and asked them to intervene.
"But they wouldn't entertain the matter," says the source.
The mole says Hlongwane went to the Randburg Magistrates' Court and sought a protection order against Thulani.
"In it he said his house's electric fence wasn't working and that Thulani posed a threat to him. How could a man of God do this?"

U are ryt! I'm so disappointed kuJabu, anyway I knew about Lindelani and Mthunzi which is why I think they didn't bother to intervene! So disgusting loads of bulshit in Joyous celebration! Thank God Nqubeko and Ntokozo have left! UNkulunkulu ababusise bona bobabili, Jabu, Lindelani and Mthunzi u are ass holes!maftowncity
Pastor Jabu,i 'm disappointed about you.You really disgraced yourself,your family,your church and the world of men.A person of your calibre,a person of your position,a person of your standing should have known better.You failed a test called INTERGRITY, even if Mr Mncube agreed to meet you and tried to address the problem,as you indicated "like men",you went again beyond the line to embarrass him,why Pastor?You are not fair Pastor.Mr Mncube trusted you so much,but you showed him a middle finger.It is people like you,who always make the Word of God invalid,people who use the Word of God to enhance your personal on the expense of other people.You know the best thing to do,you must resign from your pastership.
I failed to understand why other bosses of Joyous failed to address this sensitive issue,if there was an uncontested and overwhelming evidence against Mr Hlongwane.It really beats.
And by running to the court Mr Hlongwane really shows your feelings...that you dont care about Mr Mncube..You are disgrace..NOW sit down..!

I couldnt have said it better. You are 100% correct he is indeed a disgrace in the Kingdom of God ke nnete all that we requiring from him is to resign from his position as a pastor and JC. AboLindelani and Mtunzi, its clear that they are doing the same coz i do not understand why they could not reprimand Jabu from this unacceptable behaviour. I mean, we do not expect and will not tolerate such a behaviour in the Kingdom of God.stanley_mkunene
wenzani?when men of the cloak commit such hideous crimes the world collapses. why when somebody has a beautiful wife like Jabu why? why when you have such a good and inspiring ministry. why when you have such an honourable wife? when God has been so faithfull to you man! I cannot condemn you because I am your brother in the Lord but you need to repent of the sin and make right. how can we crusify Christ again and again through our stupid actions propelled by lust. I pray that you be restored brother and that your wife forgives you. I pray that mncube recovers from the onslaught.Lord help us not to put your name into disrepute; what will the people learn from us.

wendy this time the media is right, otherwise Jabu would have sued them by now!! maftowncity u have said it all mate!bua
If this story is true, just remember what Jesus said:"It is not all that says Lord, Lord, that will enter into the kingdom of God, ...but only those who do the will of my Father".
Just because one holds the Bible and go to church does not make him a true Christian. My appeal is, do not judge all Christians based on one christian who happen to be Judas. Note that, just because one disciple chose to betray Jesus, does not make all disciples murderous and slanderous!! Let us continue to respect and love one another.

People cheat for various reasons1.Men are naturally polygymous..it's within their genetic makeup..wether your a priest or a president,it does not matter,as long as you're a man you're a cheater.When men look at the woman they feel sexually attracted to women.Men think of sex every second in their lives.
2.Some women are very cold in bed and always reluctant to make love to a man.As soon as this carries on men look for warmth outside their marriage.
3.Some women as they grow older they tend to look shabby and less attractive and especially when they given birth more than once..so men look for sexy young girls.The same happens with the men.
4.Some women enter into marriage just for security,as long as they have got what they want,they don't show any love to a man driving a man to look for love and affection outside.As long as they got the money..thats all their true love is based..the love for money.
5.Men who develop big tummies create a big problem in a relationship because they lack the stamina and their manhood shrink and they just breath on top doing nothing..hence you find women living under such circumstances faking orgasm and ending up cheating on their husbands..
6.The cheating is equal from both men and women..because some peopleget in the marriage for wrong reasons that backfires at them.
ayoo
you are 110% right i am a christian married and i do get attracted by this new generation but god behind me, the more i pray the more i chase this devil emotion but you know what it's NOT EASY LIFE YOU NEED TO BE STRONG, I am experiencing everthing you've just quoted.maftowncity
@buaI hear you what you are saying,and yes its true,you are 100%,however people like Mr Hlongwane and the rest who are seen as role models and behave contrary to what they preach,it pisses me off big time.I 'm 100% at one time,the very same Mr Hlongwane, had encouraged people to sit down and address the problem,talk about and seek forgivenes and reconciliation..
I only speculate,but i have a reason to believe that one way or the other he must have done that..today this man *pointing a finger at him* violated that simple fundamental principle he so much preached...he makes me vomit..These are the people who bring a reproach to the Bible,the Word of God..You see thats why the Bible will never be taken seriously,they make the Word of God invalid..
Oh,yes,i do agree with you,but imagine the damage Mr Hlongwane has caused in the mind of the people,its not what he says,but what he does....Actions speak louder than words...!

@Mjepa, your posting is boneheaded and it expose you male chauvinism.. cool it man.McLoving
7.People tend to grow apart in their marriage.They can commit to one another but as they grow older love also diminishes hence you find people cheating.8.People who work night duty put their marriages at risk of exposure to cheating.If a woman/man works 7nights in a row..that is the reason people find excuses to cheat on their partners.I know of a male nurse who was working at night and his wife would bring a man in the middle of the night until around 4.30am before the husband gets back from work.
9.Married people are always not happy in their marriges as they always claim..others are just staying in the marriage for the sake of the kids and just persevering until one spouses demises.
10.The pain endured in an unhappy marriage is unbearable than labour pains...some women will tell you.
11.Alcoholism is another big problem people cheat in their marriage,since it's festive season ...there are a lot of office parties and do's and you will see just how easy it is to have alcohol induced sexual intercourse.
