Everybody is going to die, so let’s find Jesus.”
Aphiwe is a former drug dealer and convict who became a Christian in 2009.
Pastor Randall van Staden said church members use theatre, music and the coffin to spread the gospel in towns like Mossel Bay, Knysna and Oudts-hoorn.
But not everybody thought the coffin was a good idea. Some women ran away in fear.
Thembalethu taxi owner Zilindile Mthana (74) said it was disrespectful. “Coffins are linked to funerals – a sacred thing in our African culture,” he said.
Maria Jack (42) said her daughter (9) was amazed.
Aphiwe added: “People should understand that whether they are rich or poor or black or white – the same fate awaits them and that is death.”
