Masondo, Sibusiso. 2015. “Prophets never die?: The story of Bishop PJ Masango of the St John’s Apostolic Faith Mission.” Alternation, 14: 231-246

Bishop Petros Masango rose to prominence at St. John’s Apostolic Faith Mission and eventually became a leader of one of the splinter groups that resulted from the split that occurred after a long-drawn-out court battle with the founder Ma Christinah Nku. This article is an exploration of his life and teachings through the lenses of his official biographer Rev. JB Mhlongo. We explore his childhood, marriage, conversion, calling, ministry and prophecy. Mhlongo, in the title of the biography calls him the famous prophet. The theme of the spirit and its influence runs through his narrative. The story of Masango represents the failure of African Christianity to break away from the dominant western Christian paradigm when it comes to the subordination of women and according them equal status.
