2 No single version is universally retold by the narrators of Mormon history in South Africa, nor should that be expected. Like most legendary events, there are varying accounts of Moses Mahlangu’s story. Through it all, Mahlangu and several others who had been converted through their reading of the Book of Mormon remained faithful to their testimonies of this volume of scripture. Two significant factors led to his long wait: (1) the laws and attitudes in South Africa affecting race relations and (2) a priesthood restriction of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regarding people of black 1 African lineage. Moses Mahlangu waited many years from his introduction to the Book of Mormon sometime in the 1960s until his baptism in 1980. The faith of the African Saints is legendary, and the story of one man is often repeated to illustrate that faith.
