Up Close With Rev. Mary Ann Matshediso Yika.

Rev. Mary Ann Yika serves as a passionate ordained minister rooted in South African faith communities, notably featured on Radio Pulpit alongside hosts like Bahle Nhlapho. Born as the firstborn daughter of Pastors Joseph and Sibongile Yika in Welkom, Free State, she grew up immersed in ministry through Sunday school, nurturing her calling from childhood. Her ministry history shines through empowering teachings on women's vital church roles—from Joel 2's prophetic daughters to Deborah's leadership in Judges 4—and the transformative power of belief in Luke 1:45. With a heart for scriptural restoration, family reconciliation, and radical obedience, Rev. Yika inspires believers via radio broadcasts, social media, and collaborative discussions that stir spiritual awakening. Jula Ezwini
