MPOLONJENI – Reverend Johannes Mazibuko left his family, in-laws and friends in stitches when he talked about his decreased speed.

What sort of speed was he talking about?

“I’ve lived for 35 years in my previous marriage and I don’t actually see any reason why I shouldn’t live happily with my current wife, even though my speed is no longer the same,” said Mazibuko, sending the audience into fits of laughter.

He paused for a while to allow the people who attended umhlambiso ceremony (bridal gift ceremony for in-laws) at his home in Mpolonjeni, Mbabane, to finish laughing.

His wife presented him with a lounge suit, kist, sleeping mat, blanket and sleepwear. The Mazibukos, including the aunts, were presented with various gifts as well, mainly blankets.

The Mbabane Alliance Church senior pastor said he was aware that people were overthinking the veiled word ‘speed.’ He said he meant that a wife needed support in the kitchen wherein he could be washing dishes when she was cooking. Realising that his explanation wasn’t convincing, the reverend said what they were thinking about could be true. They enjoyed this funny moment.

He went on to say that an old car is not new just because a new battery has been fitted into it.

“The car remains old even if its battery is new,” he said.

He thanked his wife Thulile Dlamini for being a part of his life. Mazibuko said one of her roles would be to make him laugh and deal with stress so that he is in a happy mood when he preaches the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Why I got married now?

Reverend Mazibuko explained that he got married to Thulile for two reasons – to preserve his faith and purity. He said people would have criticised him if he were to remain unmarried for a couple of years and at worse being seen walking out of a woman’s flat.

He thanked God that his remarriage helped him preserve his faith and purity as he would now walk out of his wife’s house. “I cannot claim to be an angel. We are not angels here. I didn’t want to take long unmarried because I didn’t want to lose my faith,” he said to a round of applause.

He said he and his wife had been through a lot of challenges, with God remaining faithful and available to uplift them. Reverend Mazibuko said the challenges they overcame meant they could now write an autobiography. He said there was a time when he was not comfortable talking to any person, including those who were close to him. He thanked his children for being with him, as one of his daughters said they were happy with their father’s remarriage, further welcoming Thulile to the Mazibuko family.

Reverend Mazibuko’s brother William also thanked the leadership and entire Mbabane Alliance Church, Dr. Phil Mnisi and many others who supported his sibling during trying times.

Dr. Phil Mnisi talked about kingdom principles, which included rejoicing in the Lord. He said rejoicing in the Lord always meant leaning on God’s grace. He urged Mazibuko and his wife to lean on God – not men or circumstances. He said God’s grace is sufficient for them to live a life pleasing to the Heavens.
