Pastor Mukhuba: The Minister God is Using To Touch Lives

Advertisement

Pastor Mukhuba is a minister of the gospel whom God is using to touch lives, perform miracles, and free people from bondage. She is the founder and lead pastor of Unity Fellowship Church.

Background & Biography

Pastor Mukhuba was born on February 1, 1969 (Age 57). A lover of the Word of God, she has been involved in propagating the gospel of Christ from a young age. Married to Professor Mukhuba, she transitioned from being a lover of the gospel to becoming a preacher and was officially ordained in 2003.

When she started her ministry, it was not all rosy. However, with the support of her partner and loving husband, as well as the guidance of the Lord, she persevered. Unity Fellowship Church held its first service in a classroom at Tiakeni Primary School in Soweto, Johannesburg, in 2004.

From a classroom with a few worshippers, the church grew rapidly until the congregation could no longer be accommodated in the small classroom. This led Pastor Mukhuba to rent an unused supermarket in March 2005.

From 2005 onward, the church tripled its membership, growing from approximately 500 worshippers to thousands. In October 2009, the congregation moved to its permanent site in Midway, Soweto, Johannesburg.

Currently, the church has nine branches, an overflow capacity of more than 4,500 people, and an auditorium with a capacity of more than 1,000.

Controversies

Pastor Mukhuba has faced several controversies since the beginning of her ministry.

In 2024, her daughter, Makhadzi Ngobeni, reportedly went live on Facebook and warned her parents to leave her alone, stating that she would otherwise be forced to expose information she had about them.

In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Pastor Mukhuba was arrested after her church was found to have exceeded the number of people permitted under COVID-19 regulations.

As the chairperson of the South African Church Defenders (SACD), Pastor Mukhuba has opposed the CRL draft framework, arguing that churches should govern themselves, that the state should not interfere in church affairs, and that religious freedom must be protected.
