"Siyabonga" Themba and Zamalinda Xulu

Thank you & farewell service

How does one adequately say "thank you" for decades-long love, friendship, and service? The Tshwane Icoc bid farewell to Themba and Zamalinda Xulu last Sunday as they step out of the full-time ministry and start a new life adventure in KwaZulu-Natal.


The couple was encouraged with songs, and sharing from members of the various ministries in the church and by some of the older couples in the church who also prayed for them.


Members of the North-west and other regions of the Joburg church were in attendance. Joyce Nyanyatsi, who has known Themba and Zamalinda for a long time, summed it up well: "It was an amazing experience, though most of us shared some tears. The worship was incredible and very uplifting. Most of us knew them from their tender years and watched them grow from young campus students, to young ministry leaders, to being married and being parents. They are awesome leaders who lead by example who can relate to any age group, and who love God consistently. Their faith in God is steady and firm. They've been through a lot but never lost focus or sight of God's greatness. Their love for people is amazing. Their intentionality is amazing."

Imagine you are at a neighborhood barbecue. Your new neighbor arrives late, dressed casually, and barely speaks. Someone whispers, “She thinks she’s too good for us.” You feel the quick sting of that snap judgment. Later, you learn she just lost her husband and is quietly grieving. In that moment, you sense the discomfort of judging wrongly, a rush to conclusions that harms relationships and reveals more about our own hearts than the other person. Yet, the same evening, when another guest makes a racist joke, you feel an inner nudge to speak up. Is that also “judging”? This everyday tension captures what Jesus presents in Scripture: a divine balance between grace-filled restraint and righteous discernment. The two commands in tension “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” – Matthew 7: “Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.” – John 7:24 At first glance, these seem contradictory. Don’t judge. Judge correctly. Which is it? Matthew 7 warns against a critical, hypocritical spirit that condemns others while ignoring our own faults. The context continues: “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Matthew 7:2). Jesus then uses the vivid image of someone with a plank in their own eye trying to remove a speck from another’s. Notice the aim: “then you will see clearly to remove the speck.” Self-examination is not a reason to stay silent. It is how we become safe enough to speak (Matthew 7:3-5). John 7, however, shows Jesus defending his healing on the Sabbath. He challenges the religious leaders: stop superficial, appearance-based judgments and instead apply right, truthful judgment aligned with God’s character and Word. This is not a contradiction but a divine tension, two truths that must be held together. We are called to humility and self-examination (do not judge harshly or hypocritically), while also exercising discernment and moral clarity (judge correctly, according to truth). Christianity rejects both naive permissiveness (“anything goes, no one can say anything”) and harsh legalism (constant condemnation without grace).
