17 February 2025- A newly-elected leadership of Mahikeng Ministers Fellowship (MMF) was inaugurated at the Tri-Annual Elective Conference that was held at the Mocoseng Sundown Resort, outside Mahikeng over the weekend. The MMF also celebrated its 24th anniversary.
The new committee that emerged at the watershed conference was mandated to lead the process of intensive membership renewal and recruitment that will ultimately culminate into establishment of District and Provincial structures that will constitute the National Minister Fellowship (NMF).
Pastor Dr Moss Tlalang, who was re-elected to serve as the Chairperson for the third term said a constitutional review process to be led by Working Committees that will be established will inform a consultative engagement with Christian leaders from other provinces that share the objective to unite the body of Christ behind the vision of a prevailing church to impact families and communities through integrity, accountability, discipleship as well as selfless and ethical leadership.
Tlalang remarked that the new committee to lead the transition is expected to finalise the realignment process within six months.
“Though this might seem a daunting task, we are confident that we collectively have the required depth of organisational experience, skill and capacity. We will tap on our diverse networks and through the support of our members, I see God doing great things and us growing from glory to glory.
“Through prayer, dependence on God and relying on him as the source of their strength and wisdom as well as the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the committee will strive to build a formidable organization that will make a difference in the nation and beyond,” he said.
Tlalang further said among key achievements of the outgone MMF committee, was the launch of the MMF Youth Forum that it earmarked to be strengthened and developed into a Youth Commission.
In his message of support delivered to the conference via virtual platform, President of South African Community of Faith Based Fraternals (SACOFF), Pastor Bert Pretorious, encouraged church leaders not to be fearful nor lose sight of the vision to win souls and discipleship.
“We are trusting God for many lives to be transformed and many souls to be saved this year. Let us step out to raise the next generation in line with the G12 Legacy theme for 2025. Ours is a generational God.
“It is not the government’s responsibility to raise the next generation but that of the church. Where there are orphans, we should be responsible for those who have no fathers or mothers to make a difference in their lives,” he added.
Pretorious said they are not just called for Mahikeng, but for the North West, South Africa and for nations.
Meanwhile, the National Chairperson of the Moral Regeneration Movement, Father Smangaliso Mkhatshwa in wishing MRM a successful conference, commended delegates for taking the church where it rightfully belongs – the broader society.
“That is the only way we can become the salt of the earth and not the light hidden under the bushel. MRM appreciates the key role pastors can play in rekindling the moral fibre of our nation,” said Mkhatshwa.
Other members of the committee elected with Dr Tlalang are:
Deputy Chairperson-Ps Piet Tlhabanyane
Secretary- Ps Lesiba Kgwele
Deputy Secretary- Ps Dr Hessie Wessie
Treasurer- Ps Cassius Mpya
Additional Members- Prophetess Letta Bogatsu and Bishop Zola Matlhoko.
