She holds a number of leadership positions internationally and locally, among them Vice-Moderator of the World Council of Churches Faith and Order Commission, a member of the Church’s Provincial Liturgical Committee and the Advisory Board for Theological Education, and, in the Diocese of Natal, as an Archdeacon and a member of the Diocesan Chapter and Board of Trustees.

Congratulations to Revd Dr Makhosi Nzimande on this important office in the ACSA, I wish you well & that God’s Holy Spirit will lead & guide you as you prepare to take up this new position. I think that it’s the first time a Cleric from Diocese of Natal has been appointed to this Office of PEO. WE MUST BE PROUD OF YOUR APPOINTMENT.

Congratulations to Rev’d Dr Makhosi Nzimande of her appointment. She is indeed the perfect and most suitable candidate for the office. May God continue to gird her with humility and wisdom.

Makhosi, from a very young age was destined for great things. Her mother, a school teacher was a no nonsense kind of woman. She was not allowed to bunk church (not that she ever wanted to.) When she left for Westcott House the instruction from her priest was that she must go there, study, pass and try and make sure that she behaves such that people offer her scholarship. Instead she ended up with a PhD from the States.
I thought she was following on my footsteps. No, she surpassed that long ago.
She has followed all the steps in the church starting with being server and member of the Youth group.
God who calls you is faithful and He will do it (1 Thess 5:24)
The Parish of Enwabi Umlazi is proud of her. Congrats to my daughter. God blessed and empowers!!!

So proud of you Makhosi, when I think of you and Nonhlanhla Mauze Maloka as youth at Enwabi church at J section Umlazi.
Its true He knew before you were born, that the lady leader is coming from the dusty streets of Umlazi. May the good Lord keep you shinning and so humble.

Dear Makhosi
Our paths have crossed a number of times and I have always been impressed in the way you have comported yourself with courtesy and acuity. Your Imbokodo Theology has been of great assistance in my theological quest. The Anglican Church of Southern Africa and, indeed the Anglican Communion at large, will be all the richer with this your new appointment.
I have the utmost confidence in you to acquit yourself with dignity and distinction at this level.
You have my prayers
