Continuing a Pastor's Legacy: Bridget Matjuda on Charity, Community & Women's Empowerment

Loading player...
Join host Lindi Tshabangu on JustGospel's Soul Foods for a heartfelt conversation with Bridget Matjuda, a woman carrying forward her late father's pastoral legacy through community service and compassion.
Over a year after her pastor father's transition to glory, Bridget continues his ministry of feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and caring for orphans and widows. Her recent 40th birthday became not a celebration of self, but a charity drive partnering with Swarajano NPO Soup Kitchen in Alexandra and other organizations to serve those in need.
Key Discussion Points:

Honoring her father's pastoral legacy through continued community service
How social media opened her eyes to global suffering in Sudan, Palestine, and Congo
The birthday charity drive: from midnight prayers to feeding hundreds in Alex
Quarterly family charity work with her daughters, teaching service from a young age
Using TikTok and social media positively to support people in crisis
The power of watching videos to completion to help creators earn money for food
Partnership with multiple NPOs including African Child at Work in Soweto

Women's Month Message:
Bridget shares a powerful message about women being "daughters of Zion" who find strength in softness and femininity rather than bulldozing others. She encourages women to support each other, especially those hiding pain behind smiles, and to stand in the gap for women worldwide facing oppression.
"We cannot give from an empty cup. We need to refill ourselves, sit at the feet of Yahshua, and look out for each other." - Bridget Matjuda
This episode celebrates the ripple effect of one pastor's heart for service continuing through his daughter's dedication to community upliftment.
