Mpendulo Zondi Ministries proudly invites you

The Official Book Launch

The Dysfunctions of Being Anointed

February 2027

  • Gauteng
  • KwaZulu-Natal
  • Eastern Cape
  • Free State

Four provinces. One conversation — about the hidden costs of a divine calling, and the pathway toward stable, formed leadership.

The invitation

An evening with the work, and the people it was written for.

Across four evenings in February 2027, Mpendulo Zondi Ministries will formally present The Dysfunctions of Being Anointed — a series written for the pastor running on empty, for the leader carrying more than they are able to say, and for anyone who has sensed a calling on an ordinary life.

Each evening is an invitation to sit with the work rather than hurry past it: a reading from the volumes, a conversation with Bishop Mpendulo Zondi, and time to meet others carrying the same questions. All three volumes will be available on the night, and signed on request.

You are warmly invited to join us in the province nearest to you.
