About:
SNM was started by the late Rev. Simeon Mandlate in Maputo at Central Church of the Nazarene. When land was secured for a residential campus, the vision for construction of buildings was developed by Dr. Ken Walker, then Field Director, Dr. Randy Craker, then pastor at Kirkland, WA Church of the Nazarene, Rev. Mandlate and Dr. Paulo Sueia and Dr. David Restrick. The Mozambique Miracle resulted in seven buildings, scholarships to help future students come, youth camps to create space for the Holy Spirit to call another generation of leaders, Compassion teams to address life needs, engage NNU College students to impact the US church, library development and teaching teams to go beyond the central project. The residential school offers a 4-year curriculum in Portuguese. The current principal is Rev. Tembe and academic dean is Rev. Halissoni Nefitali.
The extension program of SNM, called IBNAL, was developed under the leadership of Dr. Margaret Scott, Dr. Filimao Chambo and Rev. Bonifacio Mirashi. The curriculum and administration of three sequential certificates leading to preparation for ordination was approved by ICOSAC in 2001 and was implemented by the 35 district superintendents in Mozambique, Sao Tome & Principe and in Angola. Today Rev. Jonas Sitoe leads the branch in Lubango, Angola. The language of instruction is Portuguese, facilitated in several maternal languages of the course monitors.

About:
Southern Africa Nazarene University is a new university that was launched in 2010 by bringing together three colleges, the Nazarene College of Nursing, Nazarene Teacher Training and the Nazarene College of Theology. The University is the result of the dream of the Swaziland Church of the Nazarene as it seeks to extend its long history of service in the Kingdom of Swaziland.
The dream became reality through the efforts of all stakeholders: the National Board of the Church of the Nazarene in Swaziland, the Government of Swaziland, the Africa Region and International Board of Education in the Church of the Nazarene. While the University is new, the legacy colleges have served the people of Swaziland for almost 100 years, delivering high quality education. Thousands of graduates serve in Swaziland and, indeed, around the world. Employers’ rating of SANU graduates is positive to date; and graduates of SANU are amongst the most preferred in the job market. Even as a new university, its impact is being felt in Swaziland and around the world.
The University has two campuses in Manzini and at Siteki. The Faculty of Theology and university farm, trading under the name “Manna Farms” are both located at the other campus in Siteki. SANU Administration office, the Faculty of Health Sciences and Faculty of Education are located in the Manzini Campus.
The Faculty of Theology offers a 4-year bachelor of theology in person and online, diploma in ministry and certificate in Pastoral Ministry.

Trained as a Logistics and risk management personnel, Maryann worked in corporate management roles for a number of years while serving alongside Gabe establishing two thriving local churches. About a decade ago, Mary joined Gabe in full-time ministry at the church. She is strong on the practical elements of discipleship such as convening prayer groups, prayer walks, compassionate ministry outreaches and mission drives to orphanages and the homeless children on the streets of Durban. Over the years Maryann has operated a blanket and shoe drive for school children in the far flung rural communities of Kwa-Zulu Natal and the urban informal settlements. Maryann is a dynamic speaker and presents a challenge to disciples for “running with endurance the race set before us!”
Maryann is an ultra-distance marathon runner having participated in numerous ultra-distance runs while raising awareness and funds for the Bible Society. As South Africans, both Mary and Gabe lived in and through the most volatile era of apartheid. Having been conscientised about apartheid they are outspoken about conflict -Resolution, living with ‘woundedness’, forgiveness, justice, restitution and reconciliation. Gabe and Mary enjoy their two daughters, Karris Shalom (18) and Eden Kelita (13). The Benjimans live happily in Durban, South Africa.
