RIP Mhofu

Reverend Sifelani a selfless man who had a heart for the environment and the young people. A steward of God's resources and a worker who toiled with humility in God's field. What an honour to have worked with you in the development of young people and in the FLEAT programme. You will forever be engrained in our hearts. Rest in eternal  peace  soldier of God knowing that your spirit lives on in the lives of those you transformed.

I cant even remember when i first met Rev Sifelani! Its like he had always been in my life. Thats how he was! Larger than life. Rev connected with the young and the old and left them all feeling inspired. I remember he was full time with the Church and i pleaded with him to move to Zim Council of Churches so we could work more together. He did and my work became much easier. He always teased me that i knew nothing about developing liturgy and he would gladly do it. He assisted the Zim gender and Faith Network to develop liturgy and he was passionate about what he did. He would get into a room and literally own it. The great giant is gone!!! His voice, his stature and his personality were huge! I never saw him angry! He would always try to find solutions and this also was his last act! He met his demise trying to find a solution! My prayers go to Patie his wife, his 2 daughters and 2 Sons!! Awwww how he was proud of his twins!! God gave me double Mai Mfundisiii he told me!. I am gutted i want to believe i am dreaming because Rev we still have to finish the season of creation message. Rev we still have to plan for the 16 days of activism against GBV and Rev you promised to have follow up sessions with the Byo FLEAT team. Action by Churches Together has lost a devouted Leader. But i have personally lost more. I had found an incredible workmate, a Brother and a Sister s keeper. Go well Mhofu! Go well The Sif. Till we meet again

Fr Samuel Vusa
A grounded theologian in the social dynamics of mission. He was passionate of a wider range of topics and areas of social ministry. Top of the list would be, Environment, Social Justice and Women Equity and equality.  In actual fact his first thesis is on Women Ministry and their role in mission.
He was consistent in these topics. He applied passion and commitment in the fulfillment of goals. 
Reverend Samuel's life was well lived for others and for the sake of community. He never did participate in the social events for his personal benefit. 
His death is untimely. His way of death is unwarranted. For he was too alert to dangerous situations.  We used to encourage each other never to be stupid and foolish at the same moment and time. However, Sam was a hero. I guess if we are to sit now and talk about why he did what he did, he would win the conversation heroically.  
My friend. Rest in peace.

I met Rev. Sifelani in 2018 during an environmental workshop in Harare called FLEAT. He was a participant and I the facilitator. His experience, knowledge and expertise was inspiring and so was his charm and grace. As I am from Cape Town he offered to take my colleagues and I to a few places to see what Zimbabwe social life offered. I had a feeling he did this to many visitors to make them feel at home. I sure did feel at home with Rev making sure we're safe and enjoyed our stay. He was a BIG man with an even BIGGER heart especially for his family. He loved talking about his girls and you could see in his eyes he was proud to be their father. Rev. is one of those people that made the world a brighter place to live in. You don't expect someone with his beautiful, charismatic nature would ever leave this earth. He was a giant with a beautiful smile and a beautiful soul. The news of his death shocked me. I still can't accept he's gone. I pray that the Lord watches over his wife and children during this difficult time and beyond. They will always know how much their dad loved them. My Rev, may the Lord be pleased with what you have achieved on this earth in His name. Until we meet again! 

Oh God there's a lot to share but I will keep it very short..I met Fr SamSam in 2016 he had visited Anglican Students Federation conference in June we actually traveled together from Johannesburg, he was very helpful hands on helping with bible studies n other Mfundisi duties such as services with no hustle. We never lost contact from there we were always in the same Anglican conference n events the likes of Anglican Ablaze in 2016 Cape Town we traveled together again in a long road trip journey from JHB that's when he also met my family in Cape Town n my mom never forgot him bcoz he almost broke his light yes he was taller than the sitting room light we always laughed about it....we were at CAPA Conference Kenya in 2018.... The list is endless. All am trying to say is he was a people's person always smiling not forgetting how he loved n cherished his girls ( wife n kids) never forgot to mention them a true family man of God. May the Angels of Heaven welcome u with a smile something you are used to sharing, May ur soul rest well my friend I have lost a friend in you and in this difficult time but God is there nalapha... Hamba kakuhle Fr Sam Sif....I used to directly translate his surname n we would laugh about it...Sifelani *why are we dying* n today am asking  *why did u die my friend*
