Melisizwe grew up going to church but only came to faith through a Campus Outreach retreat in his second year in 2014 at Wits University. Following two years of discipleship on the campus, Melisizwe grew confident that God, in this season, was calling him to full-time university ministry. He has served in the ministry for five years and has a passion for discipleship and contextualisation of the gospel. He is married to Abigail and they have a beautiful baby girl.
