CGiii Comment

The Rose Ministry is a story of the transwoman Smiso, who wants to have the wedding at the church, as a faithful long serving member of the church; she wants the ceremony to be held by the church pastor. The homophobic pastoral family fight for this to happen despite the legal and traditional approval of the wedding. Filled with hatred and anger towards the Gay church members the Pastor’s wife tries everything possible to stop the wedding from happening in the church and to get rid of the Gay church members permanently. Nicky a very close friend and a pillar to the Pastor’s wife also face rejection and condemnation when the pastoral family discovers that she is actually a transwoman herself.

Starring PJ Mathonsi, Kamo Moamohoe, Joel Myanga and Zsa-Zsa Whitney Gabor Houston, this drama shows how Leviticus 18:20, 20:13; Genesis 19:3-5 and Romans 1:26-27 are often misused to condemn homosexuality by many church leaders, which often results to hate crimes and homophobic behaviors.

Written by Mlungisi Msomi and Sekara Mafisa, this is aimed on assisting Christians, Gay or Straight about how God loved the whole world 3:16, this drama confirms that, there will be no homophobia and hate crime cases if all Christians follows the command in Ephesians 4:30-32 “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you”.
