Pastor 

Mein Name ist Matome Sadiki. Aufgewachsen bin ich in Johannesburg und habe in Pietermaritzburg (Südafrika) und Göttingen (Deutschland) studiert, wo ich auch meine Frau kennengelernt habe. Zurzeit beende ich mein Vikariat in der Hannoverschen Landeskirche. Neben meiner Frau Christina gehören zu unserer Familie noch unsere beiden Töchter Edna (2 Jahre) und Noa (7 Monate).

Ich kann noch nicht surfen, genieße aber andere sportliche Aktivitäten und schaue natürlich auch gerne Sport. Ansonsten bin ich gerne draußen und liebe kleine und große Abenteuer. Ich freue mich darauf die Kapregion nicht nur mit meiner Familie, sondern auch mit Ihnen und Euch zu entdecken. Und im Rahmen der Kirchengemeinde die vielen unterschiedlichen Aspekte von Glauben, Kirche und Gottesdienst zu erfahren.
