Lunga Shabalala’s Video Goes Viral
Lunga described his experience in the post with a powerful affirmation of faith: “The happiest day of my life. My public declaration that Jesus is Lord.” He also cited Galatians 2:20 (NIV): “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
The footage shows Lunga being baptized in what seems to be a pool, clad in black – and the ambiance was truly heavenly. However, as anticipated, Mzansi had mixed feelings – and not all were positive.
