A LEADER of popular gospel group Ncandweni Christ Ambassador, Timothy Myeni, has apologised to the public.
This was after a shocking audio clip of him threatening to kill his truck driver was leaked.
Many people who know him as a man who preaches the gospel were shocked to hear him cursing.
In the 1:58 minutes audio clip from a cellphone conversation, Myeni is heard threatening his truck driver.
"If I see you in my home I will shoot you with a bullet. You will not get your clothes. I don’t want you in my home. Your clothes are my clothes because I’m the one who bought them for you.
"I pay your rent with my money. I will report to the police that if you set your foot here, I will shoot you. I don’t want you, Satan. You are fired and I will not pay you. You broke my truck. You used my truck for money. Why did you pass by my home with my truck?

"Where were you going with my truck? You will be poor. Your foot will be rotten. You will have a bad smell and your testicles will be swollen and you will not know why, rubbish,” he said.
When contacted for comment, Myeni told Daily Sun to use the statement he released on social media.
Myeni then released the statement on Thursday, 9 March.
“We would like to apologise to everyone who is concerned about the current unfortunate situation. I apologise to you from the bottom of my heart, Bazalwana.
“We are aware of your unwavering devotion, hearts and loyalty. I have recorded this message to apologise and tend my unwavering apology,” he said.

“I thank God, who used me with his purpose," he said.
“I apologise to my beloved ones. God still rules my heart. Even if it is bad like this, God still rules my heart because all that happened was not meant to kill me but has come to push me to the level of worship,” he said.
He said he trusted God that even this mistake trending on social media would pass.
The incident happened in Eswatini where the group is from, but their music is popular in Mzansi.
