Mukhanyo is the Ndebele word for 'light'. It is apt that a Bible school in South Africa was given that name. It speaks of vision. That Bible school was more or less spontaneously born. The school has now been in existence for 30 years. At the annual general members' meeting held in April, this was gratefully remembered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Church planter and teacher<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It began, more than 30 years ago, with a courtesy visit by missionary Rev Bob Rebel to the local traditional chief to pay his respects and ask permission to work in the area. Bob Rebel had been working in South Africa for a number of years: he had worked in the homeland of Venda, and since 1975 had been working in the homeland of KwaNdebele, as a church planter.<\/p>\n\n\n
