Carol Mkize
Carol Mkize is a His People Campus pastor at Wits University Johannesburg. She started working at Wits University as a campus minister in 2004 and attended the school of campus ministry in Cape Town in 2005. While she was at the school of campus ministry she developed a deeper passion for young people.
One of the things she is passionate about is student leadership. It is to encourage students to get involved in leadership positions (class rep, house committee, society committee, SRC, ect) while on campus.
She comes from a campus ministry that’s known for always getting into trouble for being too fresh, too innovative and too radical about God. She is also passionate about raising up students who love God, serve in His Kingdom and make a huge impact in every area of society.
