The latest episode of his IG live series Let's Talk with Mohale had gospel singer NJ Kunene as his guest. They talked about how homosexuality is viewed in churches and society calling for people to engage on the matter.
As a homsexual himself and a church leader NJ Kunene said he did not want to be trapped in the closet because it would affect his faith, saying it is okay to be gay and a christian.
Having attended a christian school, Mohale opened up about the judgement he faced being a church leader as well. A turning point in was when he found out that people did not fully understand the bible hence the hatred towards gays.
"We were being told, not by God or the Bible, but by people who were teaching, that being gay is not acceptable and wrong. I started accepting all those words and living them in my life, saying I can't be gay, being gay is a sin," he said.
He also spoke out about how his parents took the news of his sexuality saying his father was okay with it however his mother took some time to adjust to the news.
"My dad was the welcoming one, the one who said it was okay. My mom had a few challenges accepting it. I gave her time to really come to terms with it. I had a lot of conversations with her, I made her understand who I am and nothing has changed about me," he said.
