Vho-Rebecca Naledzani Nehelula, a senior bishop of the United African Apostolic Church (UAAC), assured congregants that the church was in good hands and that she would continue with the good work her husband had done while he had still been alive. She was addressing guests, including congregants from the various churches, during the remembrance ceremony that was held for its members who had died over the past two years. The event took place at the UAAC Musina Centre on Sunday, 27 November.
Vho-Rebecca took over the leadership of the UAAC Musina Centre in October 2020 after her husband, Senior Bishop Rollet Ravhutsi Kwinda Nehelula, had passed away. She said that the legacy of her late husband and contributions made by the other deceased church members would forever be remembered as a strong foundation on which the church now operated. "God is the one who controls our lives, and we cannot question Him about why He took our members away while we still needed them. Ours is to thank Him for giving us these people who were prolific ambassadors for the word of God," she said.
Vho-Rebecca thanked her family, church members and everyone who supported her when she took over the church's leadership. "We appreciate your support and ask that you never to stop praying for us. There is no doubt that things are going well here because of your prayers and contributions."
Musina Mayor Nkhanedzeni Godfrey Mawela committed that the municipality would give its support to the UAAC Musina Centre as it did for all the other churches in Musina. "Mma Senior Bishop Vho-Rebecca is a true example that women in our country are capable of holding leadership positions, thereby strengthening our democracy. The church is one of our major stakeholders, and we will continue to work with them to enhance good governance in our municipality," he said.
