Although you may not easily spot her in the International Pentecostal Church Choir (the I.P.C.C), those who have followed the gospel choir will certainly have many great musical stories to tell of the lead singer Emma Simelane.
After having been involved and leading the choir for many years, the talented Simelane has decided to leave I.P.C.C and pursue a solo career in music.
Simelane has been the leader of the choir for many years, pushing it through eighteen successful projects. With her irresistible voice, the I.P.C.C has become popularly known for offering inspiring and healing songs. It was partly the work of the lead singer that helped the I.P.C.C. become one of the best selling gospel choirs of all times.
Simelane, who joined the International Pentecostal Holiness Church in the ’80s, will be releasing a solo album which is titled ‘Ngiphakamise’. On the album, the talented vocalist promises gospel music lovers to expect uplifting hymns and worship songs.
Besides leaving the I.P.C.C, the singer has also left the International Pentecostal Holiness Church so that she can pursue her calling to help disadvantaged people. It is clear that helping the poor has been something Simelane wanted to pursue a while back but couldn’t fulfill the mandate as she had other commitments. Now that she has created space for other interests, the female artist will surely be involved in community upliftment projects while she continues spreading the holy word of God.
Even though Simelane served the I.P.C.C for a very long time and contributed to positioning the choir where it is today, we should all support her in her new musical journey. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.”

Thanks giftos at last someone realised that…indeed it is so boring, people discussing, critisizing and commenting about something they don’t even have a clue or understand it. IT IS ABOUT TIME PEOPLE START MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS.

i hope mme emma cums bk i mis her performances dt she was dng while she was stil at iphc
August 28th, 2010 at 6:45 pm
I don’t think Emma will ever do that mistake of coming back u gonna miss her performance in that so called iphc, ur consolation prize is just to listen to her voice on the former ipcc albums from 1st to the last Uphakeme thats all. Just forget about ipcc u ppl comeup with something else there is no one who can manage to imitate the two ladies ke ra (Emma & the late Pricilla Lekaba).
Ur criticism, threatens, insults and jealous is lifting Emma up, cause she is doing well in her career.
Just imagine bakgethwa ba rogaka ngwana wa Modimo ka tsela ye. Le hlabisa dihlong lea a swabisa ga le na le mekgwa le maitsego.
Pleaseeeeeeeee!!!! think twice before u put ur silly comments here ’cause this site is not for iphc members is opened for everyone u stupids.
August 30th, 2010 at 7:52 am
@Tru…and i wonder if you thought twice before u put your silly comments…and do you have any “right” to call other people stupids?
I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid…but dont worry you will grow up one day, God is merciful…You can’t be moron forever…If I only knew what tomorrow holds, I would be in a better position to conclude, but because i don’t lets just hope & pray that you get well soon.
…A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.”
People like you we are used to them, its not a new thing, to be insulted…believe me…To us ke phethego Ya se ngwadilweng bukeng Ya bophelo, ke ra Yona Kgwadi Ya bo Mathew, Luke, Hebrews, Genesis, Acts etc.,
Word of advice, and hey this is not a threat, it is just a principle of life:
“Give, and it shall be given to you. For whatever measure you deal out to others, it will be dealt to you in return.”
August 30th, 2010 at 8:31 am
If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War…,not of flesh and blood, but Ntwa Ya Meboya e mebe Ya satane e fokang sebakabakeng…” A good example is a comment made by Tru…
The Armor of God
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints

@Tru….if you only knew what tommmorrow holds,….empa tshwarelo e beilwe ngwaneso, ke go fa Ramasedi Ke yena Ya tla ntwanelang.
The Bible says “…be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.”
“ as IPHC Can’t Get I know that, those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me” But Bogolo ba Modimo ha hona Yo a ka bo emang ka pele…ke kgosi Ya Mahodimo, Kgosi e boisegang…mmuso wona wa heso, Ha oa thoma bohlaleng ba motho, empa o hlomilwe ke Jehova ka sebele, and o tla nna teng, from generations to generations, whether YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. Noma ungathini…Unkulunkulu uNathi.
God said: “I will deal with them according to their conduct, and by their own standards I will judge them.
Jesu Kriste Mora Modimo a re, Di tloheleng, di hole mmoho, re tla di bona mohlang wa kotulo.
Tru if you only knew what tomorrow holds, you would continue saying whatever you saying…
But nna Ke ne ke rata hore, Ha moya O mobe Oa sathane o thole tu…

I wonder if she think twice and come back to church how are you going to look at her.
August 31st, 2010 at 1:53 pm
anonymous you are disgusting. you certainly dont have brains. you have unresolved issues with the lady. sho! how can you be so jeoulous? you need prayers my dear – we wonder why this world is so cruel – its the people like you. if you are a child of God you will respect anyones decision. Let emma follow her dreams – she will be missed by others

Ba mmuso le bathu ba modimo
Be carefull, the devil is moving in on you and you are not seeing or noticing it. You are fighting and insulting each other and ‘He’ is rejoicing. I thought we are all christians and believe in GOD irrespective of which church or who you praise, but to insult each other in this manner RE KENYA SATANA in thsi blog. Mme EMMA made her choice, yes I also wish she could come back and also wish her the best with what she is doing and her decision. Ha re nyefula modimo u tla ahlula rona ba nyafulang not her.
I am a big women in structure and also dont take it well, when another lady is insulted cause of the size that GOD gave. it shows that she is healthy and alive, ke mesebetsi ya modimo wa rona. LET MME EMMA GO THROUGH WHAT SHE NEEDS TO GO THROUGH, GOD NEW THAT BEFORE IT EVEN HAPPEND, IT WAS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK. We all dont know what will happen tonight, but we have plans, MY PLAN tonight ke ya TAPELONG( CHURCH) but GOD can change that plan for me cause he knows already what will happen.
Lets just pray and wish her the best on what she is doing and that god be with her all the time. Remember the lost son in the bible, he eventually came back to his father. Who are we to judge each other. Let us not allow the DEVIL to come between us CHRISTIANS.

i’m saying it again there is no one who can imitate the two ladies that is talent from God. Remember dikabelo tsa Modimo ga di tshwane. Emma is going up whatever u say about her di ka se mo kgomarele dipolelo tsa lena tse di maswe di tsewa ke phefo.
Ga le na mekgwa ebile le na le mona, Modise o paka ka lerato le hlompho mara ga di tsene ditsebeng tsa lena mantsu a gagwe ga a dule dipelong tsa lena.

September 1st, 2010 at 5:23 pm
A bunch of black people who invest their energies fighting one another rather than contributing to the socio-economic situation in our lovely country. It’s sad but I’ll challenge all of us to dig deep and really ask ourselves, if this energy being focused here couldn’t have been channeled elsewhere like discussing progressive ideas 2 minimize poverty, promote good values, etc
It’s better to complain and fight each other than to lead the way and make a positive change. That’s our downfall as black people. We seem to have lost all direction and that’s y we’ll alwayz be undermined and exploited by all other races because of our weaknesses, let’s wake up Ma Africa, whether be you Mzalwane, IPHC, Zionist, etc.
We are one ppl and I am sure we can do better with our time. Maybe suggestion could be focus groups that deal with religious, social and progressive issues so that we can start building each other rather than kicking each otha up all the time

Dear Mr/ Ms Editor
My dear for people to stop commenting, insulting, abusing, judging one another it’s better you close/ remove this page. it’s going far now. people don’t respect one another.
Please editor take a step concerning this.
thankx
September 2nd, 2010 at 8:22 am
There’s unfortunately no editor or moderator on this website. Completely unmanaged. I bet you could even post links to illicit and inappropriate material and no one would notice or care except those that comment. This has to be one of the saddest websites ever.
Your comments are displayed immediately on the site without any prior moderation so people can talk shit as much as they want without recourse. Actually I havent seen any terms and conditions on this site so they are actually opening themselves to possible litigation
September 2nd, 2010 at 8:48 am
Thusa, “lost son” was an example, she is not lost but left and if she wants to come back or wishes she can. Let us let her ‘be’ she is where she wants to be right now and god new that before she even made that decision. You loose some and gain some, it is life. T

TUMELO NORTHWEST, rona ha riri ntate ke modimo, I am saying and praising him for what he has done. Tell me here, did people believe that JESUS was a son of God by mere look ‘no’ he did miracles and he healed the sick and they started to believe in him and called him the son of GOD. So if I call NTATE MODIMO it means I believe in the miracles he has done and still doing that is why i call him MY father, comforter and MY GOD, cause he done miracles for me he has healed me on what doctors and witch doctors could not heal. So please dont blame THE COMFORTER for being the for people who are in need, it is my believe.
People used to catch buses to ekoloni the Cape town WITH CANDLES AND BUCKETS OF WATER TO uMAMFUNDISI to get healed in the 1980’s & 1990’s etc if you were not born at the time ask your parents, why people go to Inyanga’s , cause they believe in this things. So a person has a choice only heaven can judge me.
Tell me guys if you can get healed on AIDS or HIV wont you call that person god,(example). You would cause there is no medical cure.
We have and are seeing miracles happen.

@Concerned!, I’ve bin stressed and aired my views many times on this site but it seems there are new ppl coming on everyday and reading the comments from the last one. So no matter how much re kgala, they are not concerned with the context but rather have mo interest in speaking unnecessarily. It’s just become funny gore these r the same people re leng Ma Can’t Get le bona but it’s like sometimes common sense or basic tactics on handling situations are non-existent
