What is the Shembe Church?

The Shembe Nazareth Baptist Church is best known for being a combination of Christian and traditional Zulu beliefs and practices. It is the second largest African church based in South Africa with an estimated eight million members in 2023. Briefly News reports that the largest is the ZCC founded in 1910.

The Shembe's influence has grown. In 2024, the Shembe church leader made waves after rejecting the sitting President Cyril Ramaphosa's donation of more than R15 million. Many South Africans felt that the donation of millions to the church was an effort to garner votes. In 2022, former president Jacob Zuma saw the favour of members of the Shembe Church amid his legal battles.
