In 1948 he co-founded with the Revd Philip Mbata, Iviyo loFakazi bakaKristu (The Legion of Christ's Witnesses): a charismatic movement within the Anglican Church.

Following a curacy at St Faith's Mission, Durban he was its priest in charge from 1952 to 1960 when he became a suffragan bishop of Diocese of St John's (called Assistant Bishop of St John's). Promotion to be the ninth bishop of Zululand then followed. From 1978 until his death in 1987, he was Speaker of the KwaZulu Legislative Assembly.
