On July 24, 2019, Emmanuel Mwongela, a member of the popular gospel group Recapp, shared a powerful and personal story at the groove nomination night.
Manolo, as he is known, revealed that he had once been addicted to pornography and had objectified women, viewing them as mere objects.
He expressed gratitude to his group, Recapp, for their support during his struggles, saying, 'Thank you so much Recapp, you guys were there for me through it all.'
Manolo's words were a testament to the challenges faced by Christians, and he offered advice to his audience, saying, 'At the age of 22, it's not easy, but it's necessary. Seek help. We are all broken.'
His story serves as a reminder that even those in positions of influence and faith can struggle with addiction and personal demons.
