PASTOR Chris Mukoki of Progressive Ministry in Kagiso, west of Johannesburg, is not only focused on the spiritual being of his community but their physical wellbeing too. He has opened a privately owned clinic called Nkhethe Private Clinic, which will help to ease the burden faced by public clinics in the area.

PURSUING HIS DREAM

A former lecturer and banker, Pastor Chris has always dreamt of being part of the medical fraternity but he couldn’t study medicine as a result of the apartheid regime and ended up studying teaching instead.

“I could not study what I wanted so teaching was the closest thing that would enable me to help people. I worked as a lecturer for eight years at the former Soweto College of Education,” says Pastor Chris.
