RITA POLITAN with contributions from PHILLIP MAUBANE

SENTINEL RADIO'S RITA POLITAN RECENTLY SPOKE WITH PHILLIP MAUBANE OF ATTERIDGE, SOUTH AFRICA, ABOUT HIS HEALING OF ALCOHOLISM. A TURNING POINT FOR PHILLIP CAME WHEN HE WANTED TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD IS.

PHILLIP: About 40 years ago I was drinking excessively. There were many parties and most of the time I was drunk—and that was during Apartheid, when it was illegal for black people to drink beer or any alcohol.
