The death of Bahamian minister Myles Munroe is a loss not only to the Christian community but to society in general, senior pastor of Rhema church in Randburg Ray McCauley said.
He described Munroe as a profound speaker and leader.
"His insight into the scripture, business and leadership principles were legendary and we are blessed that he translated many of these into books and other forms of electronic media," McCauley said in a statement.
"Through his works as an author, publisher and broadcaster, his legacy shall be with us for many generations to come."
Munroe, who visited South Africa numerous times, died in a plane crash on Sunday along with his wife, daughter and six other people.
It was reported that the Munroes' private jet crashed while trying to land at the Grand Bahamas International Airport.
McCauley relayed his condolences to Munroe's family and the members of his church, Bahamas Faith Ministries.
"A great hero of faith is gone but those of us who have had the privilege to know and interact with him can attest that he has run a good race and kept the faith right to the very end," he said.
