Benjamin Dube (born in 1962) is a South African gospel recording artist who rose to fame in the early 80s. Over the years he has released several albums which have reached gold and platinum status in the South African music rankings. Dube is also a lead pastor of the High Praise Centre in Vosloorus, east of Johannesburg.^[1] ^[2]

Early years

Coming from a religious family, Dube's music interest was sparked at an early age. He started singing gospel music together with his family as a seven-year-old.^[1] ^[3] ^[4] By the age of twelve, Benjamin started singing alongside his older siblings in the church, and they became known as the Dube Family singers. But unfortunately, things would forever change for the Dube's family when their patriarch and father was gruesomely murdered in 1976. The family decided to sing and share stories of their father's death. Dr Tumi is one of the musicians he collaborated with.
