Experience rural ministry in South Africa
- 2. Shongwe is the affectionate name that we have given to the ministry we do in partnership with Sally Mckibbin. Sally is the founder of the Thembalethu NGO as well as “mother” to 19 children/teenagers who have found love and refuge on her plot in a rural village in South Africa. BBC makes its way to her home multiple times a year to help out in many different ways. What is Shongwe?
