A pinnacle member of former South African Kwaito music group, TKZee and fitness guru, Kabelo Mabalane, is the latest life receipt that God can turn anyone’s life around.
From struggling with drugs and alcohol addiction to be officially ordained as a pastor, Kabelo constantly inspires others to step out of their fears and into their God-given destiny.
Bouga Luv, as he is famously known, took to Instagram to share his joy.
“Yesterday in front of God, my family and witnesses I said yes to the call of God on my life. Having my wife @gail_mabalane next to me in that moment, made me feel invincible. I feel in my spirit the decision had long been made and yesterday was a public declaration and confirmation of what God had already done some time ago. My best days are ahead of me, praise be to God,”
wrote the husband and father-of-two over a picture of himself standing hand-in-hand with his wife, Gail Mabalane before the officiator of the ceremony.
The comments section was filled with love from fans, with many applauding Kabelo for turning his life around and being an inspiration.
Fellow celebrity Pastor Khaya Mthethwa reacted to the announcement welcoming Kabelo to the Pastor squad.
“We salute Mfundisi – you have been pastoring us even before the title siyabonga,” Khaya tweeted.
Commenting on the update, gospel musician Ntokozo Mbambo said;
“May God cover you with His glory & the Holy Spirit lead you in all truth 🙌🏽 You have been embarking on this pastoral journey for years now, yesterday the formality of the title, which you had already been operating in, was bestowed upon you ❤️ Thank you for saying YES to the call 🙏🏽 You keep inspiring Sir 💃🏽”
“We thank God for the title but truth is you have been a Pastor to us from day 1,” one platform user commented.
“I remember when you came to His People in 2010 if not 2011. You preach and Shadrack Meshack and “a ad negro” … you made an ulter call and that was my 1st time accepting Jesus. Since then I have been growing slowly but surely and graduating in my 2nd year this Friday from Bible school,”(sic) another wrote.
“Amen Pastor. Glory to God,” wrote actress Connie Ferguson.
