Hon. Kapui Matakala first joined CABU in 2017 for a chaplaincy block course while serving as a Zambia Police chaplain. Compelled by a desire to deepen his biblical understanding and better serve the Deaf community, he went on to pursue a Certificate in Sign Language and Deaf Studies, as well as a Bible degree, graduating in 2021.
Reflecting on his years at CABU, Kapui credits the university with shaping him into a servant leader, one who understands that leadership is rooted in humility and service, not status.
"The institution does not merely train the mind; it transforms the heart," he says. "Every course, chapel service, and mentorship session was intentionally designed to build character, strengthen integrity, and cultivate a passion for God's mission."
He left convinced that leadership is stewardship, a sacred trust to serve others faithfully, lessons he continues to carry into his ministry today.
Kapui is a recognized chaplain deployed out of the Luapula Division, serving as part of the Zambia Police Service's Chaplaincy Unit. He is notable as a trained sign-language speaker, ministering to the local Deaf community and bridging communication barriers when reporting crimes.
