Today marks exactly a year since Akhumzi’s passing. That’s one death [not close to me] that has affected me in ways I could never put into words. May he continue to Rest In Peace

Found out about your passing the day before preaching in Cape Town, the church leadership took me out for dinner, that call came in… I remember telling my manager I don’t think I’m strong enough to still teach. I then remembered our last conversation. Ah Akhumzi!!!???? pic.twitter.com/KiLaOO2vzD
