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.

To all the guest speakers, thank you for allowing God to use you, may He continue filling you to overflowing. I am encouraged by each message that the Lord wanted me to hear from each individual. Jim- God is coming to fight fire with fire, Bill- the capacity of our body amounting to stars, Simon- Sharpening and polishing of swords, Carol- Us running and hungering for discipleship instead of waiting for our pastors to come to us, Frans- being delivered from sin that keeps us captive.
