Show Notes

Manuel’s testimony begins in the mid 1960’s during the liberation wars in South Africa. Manuel was sent to Helderberg College.

Speaking neither English nor Afrikaans, he was a silent new student. A staff member heard him singing lustily in the shower one morning and asked him to be quiet. The music teacher, however, was impressed. She took him under her wing.

God came into his life through mum a Seventh Day Adventist and dad, (a Catholic). The family was poor and lived close to the shanty town. Yet from these humble beginnings, God would raise Manuel up to ministry.

Manuel’s musical portfolio is long and successful. It brought him fame and fortune. Yet with it came emptiness. His son died. His mother and his sister also died. Divorce followed. It was a low time. 1994 was pivotal for Manuel. Should he continue his successful career or give in to the promptings of the Holy Spirit?

This interview is not to be missed. It also has Manuel performing three of his songs.
