Local young men and women living according to God's word were captured at the Mall of Africa, singing and praising the Lord through a popular gospel song.
The group's video was later shared on TikTok by their fellow Brother in Christ under the user handle @tsm.vmnt, touching the hearts of many social media users.
The sweet mall visit
The video starts as the group enters the mall, moving down the passage and passing many stores. They break into a song and chant the popular gospel hit "Awesome God" while walking down.
The group's loud singing makes it impossible for shoppers to ignore, and many on different floor levels look down in their direction in amazement.

Leaving according to the gospel as a young person
We at Briefly News had the pleasure of speaking with Xabiso, a young born-again Christian from a local church about choosing Christian as a young person and he said:
"Choosing a life with God was an easy decision for me because my whole family is committed to the gospel. I grew up with my grandmother who took us to the Methodist Church every Sunday without fail, and when I moved in with my aunt, it was easy to join her church."
We asked the young man how he handles peer pressure as many young people around his age live very different lives and he said:
"During my high school years, I was labelled for choosing not to engage in immoral activities by some of the people I grew up with. When I started university I was at ease as people at varsity come from all corners of the country and don't care about other people's business.
I am glad I did not give in to the pressure from some of the people I grew up with as many of them have since been consumed by drugs."
We asked Xabiso how has Christianity changed his life, and he said:
"Yoh! Where do I begin? I have the comfort of knowing that I and my family are protected by God in many ways. I have learnt to be compassionate, caring and respectful of people young and old.
I have also learnt to have faith and patience and now understand that through prayer, anything is possible."
Mzansi loves the group
The clip attracted 60K views and many comments from social media users who were happy to see young Christians publicly praising God. Many shared that they would have joined if they were at the mall, and others wished to see similar content on their timelines.
