Amos was conscripted into the South African army after completing his matric. After this, he worked in the corporate world for many years while slowly slipping into drug abuse and chronic alcoholism ending in suicidal depression. During this time, he was a vociferous anti-apartheid activist.
Today he is a spiritual leader, writer, teacher and counselor. He is a full-time staff member and social responsibility officer of a successful logistics firm, which exports goods to sub-Saharan Africa. He is an active member of his local church where he is currently training dozens of fellow members to lead addicts to redemption. Amos has also begun counselling and training at another local church in his community. He is involved daily in helping recovering addicts back into society. He is on the committee of a local kids’ home, which houses abandoned children. Amos is also a campaigner against domestic violence.
Amos still resides in South Africa and married his wife, who is a born-again redeemed crack addict and a former victim of violence, early in 2017. He has two sons and a grandson.view less
