You might be shocked by the number of devout South African Christians working in the entertainment industry. Many are Christian musicians who have been born again, such as the ones listed below. Others were brought up as Christians. Actors, actresses, and rock stars who are Christians exist.
Being a Christian is difficult, especially if you work in the entertainment world, which is notoriously unacceptable. But, for the love of their Savior, several South African celebrities choose to reveal their religion and risk persecution.
I’ve rounded together five young, brilliant, and wealthy celebrities who are open about their faith.
1. Gugu Gumede.
She’s not scared to bring up the subject of God. Furthermore, she has spoken about how she prayed to be an actress, which she believes is her true calling. She said, “I hope you knew that some of us are actors not for the fame, but because we wouldn’t be fulfilling our true calling if we didn’t perform. This is what I was made for, what I trained for, what I hoped for”.
2. Rorisang Thandekiso.
Thandekiso isn’t afraid to preach the Gospel. She is honest about her relationship with God, and she surprised many when she revealed that she will remain single until she marries.
She is a true Proverbs 31:25 woman, says the South African beauty.
3. Innocent Sadiki.
Innocent is married to a pastor and is an active member of her husband’s church, The Living Gospel Word Christian Church, as well as a preacher.
4. Phindile Gwala.
Phindile Gwala, who played the dramatic Nonny Nkosi in Muvhango, was one of the show’s standout performances.
She made her debut in the SABC2 soap in 2012, however she announced her resignation five years later.
She is a committed Christian who enjoys sharing her faith with others. Likewise, she started preaching in 2016 and planned to keep doing so.
The actress’s parents are both pastors.
