Photographer and videographer and founder of Msholozi Communication, Nkosikhona Msholozi Siziba, was honoured on Monday (June 3, 2024) for his sterling work with the Pastor’s Wives dinner by the Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Thulisile Dladla.
This was during the certification presentation at the DPM’s Office for all the companies and organisations that partnered with the Foundation during the last Pastors’ Wives Dinner Discussions held at the Happy Valley Hotel on May 3, 2024.
Those honoured included Swaziland Action Group Against Abuse (SWAGAA), Sniper Security, Let’s Ride, Multipurpose Distributors, Msholozi Communications, World Vision Eswatini, Thechnosol, Bible Society of Eswatini, Ekhaya Insurance, Happy Valley Hotel, UNFPA Eswatini, Inhlonhla, Eswatini Air, and IF’s Lounge Destiny Group.
When reached for comment, an excited, Msholozi, shared with this publication that he was truly honoured for the recognition of his work. He said, “It was my first time to receive an approval certificate, and this one was is from the Deputy Prime Minister’s office. It will go up in my office.”
When asked how he felt about being honoured for his craft, he said, “I almost cried; it was truly an honour. All this is happening in my birth month, which is June, so all good things must happen this month. My birthday is on June 15.”
According to Msholozi, he became professional in 2022 capturing beautiful moments on camera. He shared that what has kept him in the competitive industry is focusing on what he truly loves, which is Gospel and weddings. Early this year he hosted a show in Nhlangano headlined by South African Gospel artist Mpumi Mtsweni.
During the presentation, the DPM challenged the Pastor’s Wives Foundation to help fight teenage pregnancy, which is on the rise in the country. The DPM said it was the mandate of the church to care for everyone, including the young.
The DPM appreciated the Foundation for taking up the challenge of fighting gender-based violence, which is becoming a crisis in the country. She asked the church to address all the issues of all the church members and stop back-biting each other.
The Foundation was established by Umkhokheli Mpumie Motsa, and it aims at boosting and building the confidence and self-awareness of pastors’ wives and other women through empowerment and creating a safe space for discussions and sharing experiences.
