Category PASTOR BS MADLALA

Pastor BS Madlala was born in 1954, February 25 in Pietermaritzburg rural areas. He grew
up in a family being the fifth born. He had a challenge of not growing normally since he was
short and could not be associated to the members of his age group. His mother,
MaNzimande, used to say he is like Khwanini who was known in the area to be not growing
as he was supposed to be. For being such a short child helped him from a number of
childhood practices that were of immorality. He grew up in a family where he would go to
school without food and come back not knowing what to eat. He qualified a Bio-medical
Technologist and started to work at Edendale Hospital, in Pietermaritzburg.
When he accepted Jesus Christ he understood that his body is the temple of God (I
Corinthians 6:19) and his life changed totally. He then fought for living a holy life and not
being controlled by the carnal nature. He was asthmatic from birth. He was healed from
asthma (Psalms 103:1-3) when he accepted Jesus Christ in 1974. He attended the
conference of Apostolic Faith Mission where the power of the Lord was manifested and
Pastor Richard Sihlobosenkosi Ngidi (Pastor RS Ngidi) was reading the Scripture in Mark
16:17-18,
 Ten blind people were given sight through the name of Jesus.
 Crippled and the lame people walked.
These demonstrations of God’s manifestations shocked Pastor BS Madlala. Pastor Madlala
used to do house-to-house evangelism. Under no circumstances would he preach at the
local church since there were elders left by Pastor RS to look after the congregation. The
main thing that helped Pastor Madlala was that he believed all what was said by Pastor
Ngidi whole-heartedly. While working at Edendale hospital he used to have open-air services
in the bus towards work, preaching at work. Other brethren used to advise him of not taking
all what Pastor RS says. They utterly said, as he (Pastor RS) used to shave his head, he
has something that makes him not to have hairs on his head. Pastor Madlala prayed on what
people were saying about Pastor RS and the Lord answered him. The Lord showed him a
dead person to whom the post-mortem was done. The question of why the person could not
complain when the post-mortem was done to him and Pastor Madlala answered simply,
“Because the person is dead and hence could not complain.” The Lord said to him that is the

type of the people that He, the Lord Al-Mighty, works with. He continually engaged himself
with house-to-house evangelism at Imbali Township in Pietermaritzburg and there were
attacks to the way the Lord was saving the people. The only thing that sustained him was
Proverbs 23:23. The ministry of Pastor RS Ngidi had a great impact on the life of Pastor
Madlala.
In 1978, he had a vision as he was on a stadium preaching to the multitudes and the Lord
spoke to him that he has sent him to Nquthu, the place he has not seen and the place he
has never been in it. He explained the vision to the elder Pastor RS Ngidi and he promised
to send him to Dundee. He planned for him to go to Bible College and come back so that he
can send him to Dundee. He resisted saying let he sort his family things first and he will then
go. As time goes on he continued with his normal life of working to support his family.
In 1981 when he was on night-call duty he was at work. After receiving the patient’s blood
specimen that was to be examined, from the nurse he was literally thrown on to the floor for
a number of minutes and the specimen lied scattered around and he felt heat that he has
never felt. He was alone in the laboratory that night. That was the night when the Lord talked
to him in an audible voice, reminding him of his words of promise that he made when he was
to die after being stabbed in his chest. The Lord showed him hell and informed him that if he
does not obey his will he will die and go to hell. Then he remembered his promise and
renewed it and the Lord brought him back to normal life. He then, same night, informed his
seniors that he cannot die because of not listening to God and arrangements were made to
relieve him from that night.
In 1982, April 22 nd his wife passed away having not reported any sickness and left him with
their daughter, Sindisiwe who was ten years of age. This was when he decided not to get
married anymore but only to raise the child and respond to the call of the Lord of sending
him to Nquthu. In 1983 he was at Bible College to study and reason on the Word of God and
in 1984, March 8 he left Pietermaritzburg for Nquthu in response to his calling. On his way
he was phoned by one of the brethren who informed him of Sister Bongi Mkhize, whom
Pastor Madlala knew in Pietermaritzburg, that she was working at Nquthu hospital.On that
day he was accommodated at Pastor Mtolo’s place in Glencoe. On the 9 th March 1984 he
arrived at Nquthu, the village, the place he did not know, the place he knew nobody in it, the
place he has never seen, the place he has never been in it and the place quite different from
the city, Pietermaritzburg.
On his arrival he asked for the town of Nquthu since he was not aware that he was already
in it. He asked for the hospital and they showed him. He then prayed and informed the Lord
that he has come to Nquthu. He went to the hospital, Charles Johnson Memorial (CJM), and
was sent to Matron Dladla. He explained to her his calling. Matron Dladla stated that she can
help him to sleep for one night and then she will refer him to people of his kind. It was on this
very first day that Pastor Madlala preached Christ to Matron and her family and she
accepted the Lord.
The following day he was visited by a saved brother who discouraged him about the ones
who came before him who did not succeed. From March-September 1984 he was residing at
CJM after Matron Dladla changed her mind by accepting the Lord Jesus. In June 1984 the
transfer of Matron Dladla was approved by the department after a long trial of herself to be
transferred. While at CJM the house-to-house outreach was continuing at Luvisi and

Maduladula area. In May 1984, while outreach was continuing Grand Daddy, Mkhulu
Mncube accepted him and promised to give him the place to stay. It was in this year where
he was noticed by Granny, Gogo Mncube at Mrs Annah Magubane’s (Mr Musa’s mother)
funeral while testifying and presenting Christ the Saviour.
House-to-house outreach continued and the first eight people were baptised at the area of
Maduladula. With ten people the work was established in Nquthu. From 1985-1991 Pastor
Madlala continued with house-to-house evangelism and tent outreach and places like Zicole,
Luvisi, Ngwebini, Silutshana, Nceceni, Zinkondlwaneni, Magogo and Vulamehlo were
covered and the hand of the Lord was on Pastor BS Madlala. To mention a few of the
families that were saved, the Mncube family (Maduladula), the Buthelezi; Ndlovu; Dladla;
Khoza; Langa families (Zicole),Shabangu & Khumalo families (Nceceni); Mthethwa family (Former UMzinyathi District Mayor-Rev James Mthethwa), Mazibuko family
(Zinkondlwaneni), Mpungose & Sibiya families(Fort Louis NKA), Hadebe & Ngubeni families (Vulamehlo), Mthembu & Dlamini families (Ngwebini), the list is endless. This has been the product of fasting and prayers that have been done since then until today during July and December every year.
