He obtained his Licentiate in Sacred Scripture at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, where he studied for 4 years (2013-2017). He was born in Soweto, where he lived the first few years of his life, but later spent his teenage life in Mokopane, Limpopo province. It was there that he developed great passion for art, and dreamt of pursuing acting and script-writing as a career. While still at school, he wrote two plays, in which he participated as an actor, one for the Church youth and the other for his school. He was also involved in Church youth choir as a baritone singer. But the dream of a career in art seemed to disappear as his passion for Priesthood manifested strongly, only to re-surface again during his Seminary training.At the Seminary, he continued to write scripts in which he participated as an actor, and he started composing music. He composed several pieces of music for two Seminary CDs, and several other pieces for three different choirs. He also composed several other musical melodies that were sang during Holy Mass. He enjoyed research and writing assignments, and excelled greatly in this area.While in Rome, he started a skeletal work on what was to develop into his first two publications: "Forgive yes, but how?" and "Is it wrong to question God in prayer?". These two books were a response to his pastoral experience, and aim at addressing some of the struggles that believers face. They were written to address what he perceived as a pastoral need.Fr Thulani enjoys exercising and jogging, which is a substitute for the Karate sport he grew up doing during his secondary school days. His passion for knowledge and reading continues to occupy him, and his dream for writing more books grows every day.visualizza meno
