Cassper also shared a message of inspiration to others, advising them to turn to God as well.

Briefly News spoke to Pastor T Caluza from The Voice Of The Kingdom Ministries church, who shed light on why being a born-again changes a person's life for the better. Caluza, who is an elder at the church, explained the steps people take when they embark on that journey,

"Sometimes, people who feel lost or face hardships in life often turn to God. Being a born again Christian requires commitment. At church, we do this thing called 'ukukhetha inkosi' [accepting God as your saviour] and committing ourselves to him.
"I often encourage young people to speak to the elders at church and repent their sins. Then, getting baptised is often the next step, and that is a major decision in a Christian's journey."

Caluza commends the act of spreading the word of God, which is something Cassper Nyovest is actively doing online.
