"I have had the privilege of working with Nhlaka for the past 7 years in the running of our annual combined Holiday Clubs and Children's Camps for Eden Kids and Metro Methodist Children's Church. The first thing you notice about Nhlaka is his smile: this smile tells you a lot about him....his natural warmth and ability to interact with people of all shapes, sizes, ages and cultures....his enthusiasm and willingness to "do", to be involved, to serve, to give....and his positive, "can-do" attitude that is a blessing to all he interacts with. It has been wonderful seeing Nhlaka grow in his God-given leadership role over the years and I am excited to see what God will continue to do through this young man who has been so faithful with the task he has been given. What a wonderful role model he is and how glad I am to call him my friend."

Despite having only known Nhlaka for a short time, it is clear that he is passionate about Eden Kids and the children he works with. He is a humble and willing person who is eager to learn and is always striving for self-improvement. On coming to know him, one has no doubt of his integrity, honesty and strong leadership skills. We are confident that he will continue leading Eden Kids from strength to strength.

"Since Brook side Mall opened I have dealt with Pastor Joel and Nhlaka on a weekly basis and have found Nhlaka to be a young man who has a heart for disadvantaged children and has integrity that shines. As Joel moves on we will continue to partner with Eden Kids and know that it is in good hands- A young man who is perfect for the position-Nhlaka Gazu!"
