Through inspiring stories, tributes, and thought-provoking commentary, this edition explores how ordinary people can create extraordinary influence that endures long after they are gone.

The magazine also honors the lives and contributions of Erlo Stegen, founder of the KwaSizabantu Mission, and George Ochse, whose testimony of transformation continues to inspire believers today.

Readers are introduced to modern-day legacy builders such as Nico van der Merwe, who transformed deaf education internationally, and Dr Dawid and Dr Carousel Pieterse, whose ministry supports and restores single mothers and their children.

The issue also examines the growing influence of the Reformation Society and includes a reflective article asking what legacy the ANC will leave behind after three decades of governance.

Filled with stories of faith, perseverance, leadership, service, and societal impact, this edition encourages readers to consider the legacy they are building and challenges them to invest their lives in things that will make a lasting difference for the Kingdom of God and future generations.

In this powerful episode of The Crossfire Podcast, wesit down with Vera Vencatasamy—author, speaker, and seasoned communications professional. With nearly 30 years of experience in media and public relations, Vera has spent her career giving a voice to others, but it was her own lived experiences that finally gave her something worth saying.

We dive deep into her debut memoir, "Masterpiece:Finding Faith in Loss, Laughter and the least Likely Places,"published in early 2026. Vera candidly shares her "survival song," exploring the "unflinching truths" of her life, including:

Overcoming Childhood Trauma: Navigating the pain of bullying, child abuse, and the early loss of her parents to cancer.

The Journey of Healing: How she transitioned from silence to authorship once her pain no longer had power over her, but purpose through her.

The Beauty of Adoption: The transformative journey ofadopting her daughter, Zendaya, and why she believes family is defined by the courage to say "yes".

Identity and Resilience: Tackling systemic issues like racism and colourism while rediscovering self-worth through a spiritual lens.

Vera’s philosophy is simple yet profound: a masterpiece is defined not by perfection, but by its layers, texture, and the depth of its restoration.
