“Don’t cry for me. An actor always survives,” he said as he bade farewell to the congregation which he described as most caring and accommodative.
According to church administration, Maganga, who was ordained in 2006 as church minister in Blantyre Synod, arrived at Nthemba CCAP on February 11, 2022 and served the congregation with dedication and devotion.
“Don’t count my shortfalls rather dwell on my strength,” he said and further called on the congregation to continue standing strong in faith amidst challenges.
Rev. Maganga who is fondly called Uncle C by mostly the youth appealed to Nthemba congregation to warmly receive the incoming moderator to ably minister the word of God.

The youth carried the day with dancing and at a certain point they carried Maganga on their shoulders as they chant ‘Uncle C we will miss you.’
Several congregations sent their representatives to Nthemba church to bid Rev. Maganga farewell and among the representatives was former Blantyre Synod General Secretary, Rev. Alex Maulana who led Mount Pleasant delegation.
Rev. Maganga served Machinga, Domasi and Mlombwa CCAP congregations before his posting to Nthemba in 2022.
Rev. Justin Mwachumu who led the farewell service called on Nthemba congregation to welcome the new moderator that will come to serve the congregation in the same way they welcomed the outgoing moderator.
He commended the congregation for being supportive to all moderators that served the church in the present and past.
“Let’s make Limbe Presbytery a good place to stay,” he said. Recently St Columba CCAP congregation also bade farewell to associate church minister, Rev. Justin Mwachumu who has gone to Blantyre Synod offices after serving from 2018 to 2024 at St. Columba
