POLOKWANE – According to Prophet Shepard Bushiri, a memorial service for Nee will be held this morning, 3 October, from 10:00 at the Miracle Tent, Pretoria Showgrounds.
POLOKWANE – “It is with great sadness that I announce the sudden passing on of our great worshipper, James Nee who died early this morning in a car accident. I learnt that James along with my other two ‘sons’ Beston Khamba and Brain Glant were traveling in a vehicle that collided with a truck and in the process overturned and claimed the life of all three of them,” said Prophet Shepard Bushiri in a statement.
Nee, a singer, songwriter, producer and businessman from Malawi, is well known for being a singer in the Enlightened Christian Gathering church. He, along with two other people, were killed on impact when a truck and a sedan collided head-on along the N1 North near the weighbridge at around 04:00 this morning (Tuesday).

The cause of this accident is not clear at this stage but a case of culpable homicide is being investigated, Police spokesperson, Col Moatshe Ngoepe said.
Details of the funeral and arrangements will be announced soon, Bushiri concluded.
