I just when I was as a teacher, even before I joined the YMG, it was in a rondavel house somewhere outside... there was no location, simply a rondavel house. And they were calling the people, those who wanted to join the YMG. I found myself joining; I don’t know how it happened. So, that was the start of the excitement. Then I joined the classes for local preachers. I studied for the local preacher and I became a full local preacher. That’s when I found that there was an urge for me to become a minister. So, I candidate for the ministry 1958, wrote the exams. You write exams in the Methodist church. I was a full local preacher by then. And I passed the exams. And because I was very much involved in the life of the young people in the Durban circuit, the superintendent minister was Reverend Skakana then and the two circuitry stewards Mr. Mdolo and Mr. Masebo, they appealed to the conference that they would like me, my first appointment, to be in Durban so that I could continue with my work in the youth. So I was appointed. The conference which met in 1950 appointed me to Lamontville, that is where I started my ministry, in Lamontville where I was then in 1959 and 60, before I went to Fort Hare for full training as a minister of the Methodist church. And then I did my BA degree at Fort Hare. And then when I left Fort Hare at the end of 1963 I was posted by the conference to go and start a new station somewhere in a very rural area called Ncebini in the district of Lebote, at a place called Magubunisi. I was a young person, married, with a young child. We went there.
