Pastor Mpumelelo Kunene
Mpumelelo was born and raised in KwaZulu-Natal's north coast. After completing his BSc in Computer Science and BCom in Information Systems at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, he moved to Johannesburg and worked as a Software Developer for 6 years. He joined staff at Heritage in January 2019 as a Pastoral Intern, and was ordained as an elder in 2020. He holds a Master of Theological studies in Exegetical Theology from Reformed Baptist Seminary.

Pastor Mahlwane Magale
Mahlwane is married to Nkite and they have a daughter, Potego. Mahlwane and Nkite have been members at Heritage for a number of years. He started coming to Heritage in 2013 when he moved to Johannesburg following completion of his studies. He came to know the Lord after being exposed to sound Bible centric teaching when studying in Cape Town. At Heritage, he has been part of a few ministries, most notable of which is Iron Men, which has played a key role in his growth and maturity. Mahlwane and Nkite have a daughter, Potego.
Pastor Gomolemo Mangwathe
Raised in a nominal Christian home with strong Anglican roots, Gomolemo grew up with the church forming a substantial part of his life; however, by his own admission, he had very little understanding of salvation by grace alone through Christ alone. It was only when he went to further his studies in Cape Town that he fully embraced Christ and grew in his knowledge of the doctrines of grace. Desperate to find an evangelical church in Johannesburg after completing his studies in 2012, he was introduced to Heritage Baptist Church, and has never looked back since. He married the person who he calls "the girl of his dreams", Lydia, in 2017, and the two of them are looking forward to growing together in the love of Christ over the years. The Lord has blessed them with three children, and their hearts’ desire and prayer is that they would grow to love the Lord from an early age.
