S’CHAZA READ BIBLE ON FATEFUL DAY

MBABANE – He may have not been known as a Christian to many, but the late Mduduzi ‘S’chaza’ Matsebula talked to God on the day he died.

Relatives said he read the Bible the whole day on the Friday and even shortly before he received a call from a friend who asked him to go out with them.

His sister Bongiwe said the Scriptures that the deceased picked on that day talked about enemies and were purely a request to God to fetch him because he felt threatened. “What also stood out on the day is that my brother highlighted the verses that he read on the Friday and miraculously, after reading the Bible God ordered him to walk out to the gate as He was fetching him.”

The verses quoted from the New International Version of the Holy Bible were read from Psalms 25 verses 4-5 and verses 15-22.
It reads as follows, “4. Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. 5. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Saviour, and my hope is in you all day long. 15. My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only He will release my feet from the snare.

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. 17. Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. 18. Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. 19. See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me! 20. Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. 21. May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, LORD, is in you. 22. Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles!”

The habit of reading the Bible is said to have manifested after S’chaza had an accident while driving one of the chief justice’s cars.
