Local Reverend honoured after receiving a Doctorate from an overseas institution
Reverend Dr Timothy Mncube was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the Martin Luther King school of Bible and Theology; in the fellowship with international Faith Theological Seminary University College in Finland.
Randfontein’s very own Reverend Dr Timothy Mncube has been given his flowers while he can still smell them and has been shown appreciation by his friends and family.
This was through a celebratory event held in his honour at Usambara in Krugersdorp on October 29.
Mncube was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the Martin Luther King School of Bible and Theology; in the fellowship with international Faith Theological Seminary University College in Finland on November 30 2020.
Speaking to the Herald in an interview, Chairperson of the Dr Mncube Plenary team Michael Sosibo said they decided to honour Mncube because he has been an exemplary figure in the Community of Randfontein and its surrounds for numerous years
“We decided to honour Dr Mncube for his achievement after he as awarded an honorary doctorate. We felt as a team that he could just not be honoured by a university in Finland and not in his home soil. I then decided to gather the people he had relations with and impacted their lives in a positive way and informed them of my plans to celebrate Dr Mncube.
“They bought into my idea of honouring him for his achievements of being awarded a Doctorate and having had a mission that went beyond the pulpit,” said Sosibo who added that Dr Mncube dedicated himself to community work than priest hood.
He is the former Father and Rector of the St Paul’s Anglican Church in Mohlakeng.
He was later taken to higher heights, which saw him becoming a Priest and Rector at the St Paul’s Anglican Church in White City Jabavu and also served as a warden for the Ipeleng Community Centre.
He resides in Finsbury but has touched those in and around the entire community of Randfontein in a positive way.
