‘The happiest day of my life’ Lunga Shabalala gets baptised

Media personality, Lunga Shabalala has recently had a spiritual rebirth as he washed away his sins and became a new creation in Christ with his baptism.

The actor and TV presenter known for his presenting skills from Selimathunzi and for his roles on The River, Miseducation, and The Legacy recently took to his Instagram page to share his baptism experience.

In the post he shared, he posted pictures of him getting baptised by two men presumed to be pastors, in what looks like an indoor swimming pool. During the process of his baptism, one pastor prayed over him before they dipped him in the swimming pool. They were all donned in black clothes and there were cameras around to capture this glorious moment.

He shared this post with a word from the Bible,‭‭ Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
