He highlights that it was unusual for children of his age to enrol in school, which resulted in special treatment from educators such as Mrs. Mbatha. In his reflections on significant teachers, Dr. Ndwandwe describes his experience in Form 1 at Hambangendlela High School, where classes took place in a traditional court. At that time, Mr. Masuku was the only teacher, responsible for instructing all subjects without receiving payment, yet he remained committed to his students. Furthermore, he notes that when the school was finally constructed, it lacked toilets, leading students and Mr. Masuku to take the initiative to dig them.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBishop Ndwandwe reflects on completing his education in 1979 before moving on to St. Peters College. He shares that a service was organized at his home, leading him to fast the day prior. He recalls reading Genesis 12, and was surprised when the pastor referenced the same passage during the service. He interprets this as a message from God, urging him to leave his home and venture into the unknown. He indicates that his academic pursuits lasted for three years, and he married on January 15, 1983, at which time his wife was a nursing student.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBishop Ndwandwe recounts that following the completion of his studies, he was assigned to a predominantly white diocese in Eshowe in March 1983. He initially anticipated facing rejection from the white congregation; however, he was pleasantly surprised by their warm reception, which fostered a strong communication and bond with the church community. In May 1985, he was transferred to KwaDlangezwa at KwaMalusi. He reflects on the emotional pain he felt during his farewell at Eshowe, realizing the depth of his connection with the congregation. His time at KwaDlangezwa inspired him to pursue further education at the University of South Africa, as he worked closely with the university staff.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBishop Ndwandwe indicates that following his tenure at Ndlangubo, he was assigned to Holy Cross in 1990, where he served for a decade. He notes that during this period, he successfully completed his honours degree with cum laude and enrolled in a master's program at the University of Zululand within the faculty of theology. His studies included Greek level 2, Hebrew level 3, English 1, and a modest amount of German. After obtaining his master's degree, he was awarded a bursary that enabled him to pursue a PhD in the same faculty. The title of his dissertation was “Reading One John in a Zulu Context.” He expresses a longstanding admiration for the Gospel of John; however, due to its extensive nature, he chose to concentrate on the epistle for a more thorough analysis. Bishop Ndwandwe earned his doctorate in 2000 while continuing his pastoral duties at Holy Cross.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBishop Ndwandwe shares that while serving as a suffragan bishop in Pietermaritzburg, his wife often expressed, “do not presume that the Lord's work is finished; something significant is forthcoming.” He describes how these sentiments became a reality when he was nominated for a bishopric in Mthatha. On the election day, all nominees left to allow the voting to commence, and it was expected that the process would be lengthy due to the number of candidates. To his surprise, the election was completed in a mere 35 minutes, leading to his appointment as the Bishop of Mthatha in December 2017. He describes his time in Mthatha as remarkable, which motivated him to learn IsiXhosa. He also recounts the extraordinary event in August 2021 when he was anointed as the first black Bishop of Natal, interpreting it as a sign that God's will would be accomplished unexpectedly. Upon his return, he faced various challenges within the diocese, with some members of the white community perceiving him as an outsider. However, he felt assured that God would not have reinstated him if He did not possess faith in him. \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Date"]},"value":{"en":["2023-08-24"]}},{"label":{"en":["Specific Location"]},"value":{"en":["Berea-Durban"]}},{"label":{"en":["Extended Locations"]},"value":{"en":["eThekwini Central - eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality - KwaZulu-Natal - South Africa"]}},{"label":{"en":["Duration "]},"value":{"en":["02:03:29"]}},{"label":{"en":["Contributors"]},"value":{"en":["Hummingfield Charles Nkosinathi Ndwandwe (Interviewee)","Muziwandile Hadebe (Interviewer)","Reinhardt Hartzenberg (Field Technician)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Interviewee Information"]},"value":{"en":["Hummingfield Charles Nkosinathi Ndwandwe (Name)","1959-01-29 (Date of Birth)","Johannesburg-Benoni (Location of Birth)","Zulu (Ethnicity)","Male (Gender)","Bishop of the South African Anglican Church (Occupation)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Provider"]},"value":{"en":["KwaZulu-Natal Department Sport Arts and Culture - KwaZulu-Natal Archives and Records Service - Oral History Unit"]}},{"label":{"en":["Repository"]},"value":{"en":["Audio-Visual Repository"]}},{"label":{"en":["Language"]},"value":{"en":["IsiZulu (Primary)","English (Secondary)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Preferred Citation"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e(Reference code) \u003c/strong\u003eKwaZulu-Natal Department Sport, Arts and Culture - KwaZulu-Natal Archives and Records Service; Oral History Unit\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Source URL"]},"value":{"en":["https://www.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/105943"]}},{"label":{"en":["Access Restrictions"]},"value":{"en":["This material is open for public access and research"]}},{"label":{"en":["Format"]},"value":{"en":["MPEG-4 (Base Media / Version 2) - extension: .mp4 - ISO/IEC 14496-14 -Video Compression Standard: HEVC (H265) - Frames: 25fps - 16:9 - 8-bit - Compression Mode: Lossy - 854x480 pixels (Public Access - Format)","AVCHD - extension: .MPT - Frame rate: 25fps - 16:9 - Compression Mode: Lossy - 1920 x 1080 pixels (Original Media - Format)","ProRes422 - extension: .MOV - Frame rate: 25fps - 16:9 - 8-bit - Compression Mode: Lossy - 1920 x 1080 pixels (Video Archive Version - Format)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Primary Media Type"]},"value":{"en":["Video"]}},{"label":{"en":["Medium"]},"value":{"en":["Born digital (digitally generated content)"]}},{"label":{"en":["Themes"]},"value":{"en":["Religion","Education","Family Histories","Languages"]}},{"label":{"en":["Subject"]},"value":{"en":["Academic Achievements","Education System","Religious Leaders"]}},{"label":{"en":["Genre"]},"value":{"en":["Oral Histories"]}},{"label":{"en":["Transcript Language"]},"value":{"en":["IsiZulu"]}},{"label":{"en":["Conditions governing access"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eCollection is open for research.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Condition governing reproduction"]},"value":{"en":["COPIES FOR PRIVATE STUDY: Subject to copyright, conditions imposed by owners and protecting the documents, digital copies can be made.

He initially anticipated facing rejection from the white congregation; however, he was pleasantly surprised by their warm reception, which fostered a strong communication and bond with the church community. In May 1985, he was transferred to KwaDlangezwa at KwaMalusi. He reflects on the emotional pain he felt during his farewell at Eshowe, realizing the depth of his connection with the congregation. This experience led him to understand that individuals should not be judged based on their skin color, as the white members of the congregation embraced him as their priest rather than viewing him as a servant, despite the prevailing discriminatory policies. His time at KwaDlangezwa inspired him to pursue further education at the University of South Africa, as he worked closely with the university staff.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBishop Ndwandwe describes how the bishop opted to send him to England for a three-month period to observe the interactions between chaplains and universities. He indicates that during his stay abroad, he received invitations from both Cambridge and Oxford, with the latter being extended by Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, who was a lecturer at that time. He emphasizes that this trip allowed him to acquire experiences that inspired him to strive for personal improvement, especially when a university leader presented him with two books that explored the history of Africa, along with a note referring to him as “Dr. Ndwandwe.” At that moment, he had only attained a diploma, and he perceived this as a prophetic indication to further his academic journey.\r\n\r\nBishop Ndwandwe shares that a month after returning from his trip, he received a letter from the bishop that indicated his transfer to Sandlwana. He found this news to be profoundly disheartening, as it required him to leave the university that had motivated his educational journey for a place lacking any universities. He highlights that the situation was made even more painful by the fact that his wife was studying full-time, was unemployed, and depended on a stipend of less than R300 at that time, which meant they would face separation. He credits Archdean Dladla's advice and influence for facilitating his transfer to Ndlangubo, which proved to be a more suitable alternative as it was located between Mpangeni and Eshowe.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/105943/file/206714#t=1871.0,2845.0"},{"id":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/105943/file/206714/index/87464/annotation/15","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Priesthood Journey","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Assignments","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"apartheid regime","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"discriminatory policies","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"tertiary","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"international exposure","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"family","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/105943/file/206714#t=1871.0,2845.0"},{"id":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/105943/file/206714/index/87464/annotation/16","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Dr. Ndwandwe","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/105943/file/206714#t=2846.0,3754.0"},{"id":"https://av.kznarchives.gov.za/collections/2203/collection_resources/105943/file/206714/index/87464/annotation/17","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Bishop Ndwandwe indicates that following his tenure at Ndlangubo, he was assigned to Holy Cross in 1990, where he served for a decade.

He recounts several instances of rejection, the first occurring during his 20-year tenure as a pastor in Zululand, where he was nominated for a bishopric but faced opposition and ultimately did not attain the role, leading him to request a transfer. Additionally, while in Natal, he was nominated for a bishopric in Highveld but chose to withdraw his name for personal reasons. This decision was misinterpreted by some as a bid for Bishop Rubin's position, following Rubin's announcement of retirement in Bishop Natal.
