Today, together with a broad coalition of faith-based organisations, we met with His Excellency, President Cyril Ramaphosa, to discuss the migration challenges facing our nation. As the Church, we reject both xenophobia and lawlessness. We stand with communities experiencing genuine hardship, and with vulnerable individuals and families who have been displaced, threatened, or harmed. Every person bears inherent dignity and deserves to be treated with respect. At the same time, we are concerned by the growing trend of citizens assuming functions that belong to the state—conducting patrols, demanding identification documents, questioning access to public services, and attempting to enforce immigration laws. While communities have legitimate concerns about crime, illegal immigration, and the rule of law, the solution is not vigilantism. South Africans should never feel compelled to perform the duties of police officers, immigration officials, labour inspectors, or the courts. When citizens begin doing the work of the state, it often reflects a decline in public confidence in government’s ability to enforce the law. The answer is not taking the law into our own hands. The answer is a capable state that enforces the law consistently, fairly, transparently, and without fear or favour. A strong society requires both responsible citizens and effective government. We therefore call on government to strengthen law enforcement, secure our borders, uphold the rule of law, and protect the rights and dignity of all who live within our country. South Africa is at its best when justice, compassion, accountability, and the rule of law work together.

Had an awesome time ministering at YouthFest at Supersport Park! What an incredible atmosphere filled with faith, passion, and purpose. I had the privilege of challenging the youth to rise up and become the leaders of today—not waiting for some future opportunity, but taking responsibility right now to influence their schools, campuses, communities, and nation for good. The youth of South Africa are not just the leaders of tomorrow; they are leaders today. Every generation has a responsibility to stand for truth, lead with courage, and make a difference where God has placed them. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible. I left inspired and full of hope. The future is bright because a new generation is emerging—passionate for God, committed to purpose, and ready to transform our nation.

We had an extraordinary G12 KZN Conference in the heart of eThekwini, hosted at CFCI Church. I am so proud of our KZN team for organising such an outstanding conference with excellence and passion. A heartfelt thank you to every pastor and leader who attended. God moved powerfully in our midst, touching lives, renewing vision, and stirring hearts for His Kingdom. We are also deeply grateful for each of our speakers: Apostle Dr Collins Dhlomo, Pastor Larry Cassell, Pastor Vangeli Sibisi, Pastor Kwanele Nqcobo, Dr Stanley Moodley, and Pastor Wesley Sing. Each ministered a powerful word that brought encouragement, impartation, and transformation. South Africa will never be the same. The Church is rising, disciples are being made, and the Kingdom of God is advancing.

What an incredible and historic evening at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg! Congratulations to Dr Tumi and his wife, Kgoagelo, for taking this bold step of faith and bringing together thousands in worship and unity. The atmosphere was filled with the presence of God as people from all walks of life gathered to lift up the name of Jesus. We rejoice that thousands of people surrendered their lives to Christ as Bishop Mosa Sono and Rev. T.A. Ralekholela powerfully shared the Gospel and led the altar call. There is no greater miracle than lives being transformed by Jesus. Thank you for including us in this significant gathering. I am so proud of Team 3C Live and the 3C Dance Team for ministering with excellence and passion. It was a privilege to speak prophetic declarations over South Africa, declaring hope, healing, unity, and God’s purpose for our nation. We thank the Lord for what He has done and remain expectant for even greater things ahead. South Africa belongs to the Lord, and there is hope for our nation as hearts turn back to Him. Great worship. Great unity. Great harvest. To God be all the glory! 🙏🏼🇿🇦✨ @RealDrTumi @3C_LIVE @My3C_ @ARalekholela @BishopMosaSono

It was great being with @ColleenMakhub on her show on @Powerfm987 today. We discussed the important issue of men’s mental health, especially as suicide rates among young men aged 19–25 continue to rise in South Africa. If you are reading this and you are struggling — maybe feeling hopeless or thinking there is no way out — please hear this clearly: YOUR STORY IS NOT OVER!!! There is hope. There is help. And there are people who care about you. Don’t suffer in silence. Reach out. Speak to someone. Your life matters. 🙏🏼

Just completed a fruitful trip to Mbombela, and my heart is so encouraged. We started with a live broadcast to the leaders of El-Shaddai Church under the leadership of Bishop Petrus and Maureen Mdaka. We then met with the 3C Family Church leaders at Manna Church led by Pastor Marion Rankin. From there, we had a powerful G12 training meeting for pastors and leaders at Church in the Hill, led by Apostle MVG and Ofentse Lephoko. We concluded the trip with a SACOFF meeting together with senior leaders of fraternals and federations. I am deeply grateful for the privilege of connecting with such incredible leaders who have such a heart for God and for our nation. Seeing so many passionate, committed, and conviction-driven leaders reminds me again that there is hope for South Africa. Our country is filled with talented and gifted leaders who are committed to making a difference. The future is bright. So thankful to the Lord. 🙏🏼

We had a powerful and enriching day training pastors and leaders at Dominion Life Cathedral International in Kempton Park, Gauteng, led by Apostle Ben and Pastor Thandi Ndobe. It’s always inspiring to be among men and women who carry a genuine heart for God and a deep love for people, not just attending church, but being the church, raising disciples and investing into lives. Grateful for the incredible leadership in our nation. South Africa is blessed with pastors who are committed, faithful, and passionate about the call of God. Great pastors, great church! 🙏🏼
