The ZCC in a nutshell

The local information hub South African Online History explains that the Zion Christian Church was established in 1924 by Engenas Lekganyane, but was founded by his father in 1910. He claimed leadership of the church after his father's passing.

Oxford Reference states that the ZCC was established by defecting members of the Zion Apostolic Church (ZAC) and the Zion Apostolic Faith Mission (ZAFM).

South African Online History also notes that the ZCC, which took its name from biblical references, was initially based in Thabakgone and later moved to its current headquarters, Moria, Limpopo, after experiencing clashes with the chief.

According to Oxford Reference, following Engenas's death, Edward Lekganyane took over in 1949. His younger brother Joseph Lekganyane created a smaller group called St Engenas ZCC. While the ZCC is known as the 'star' church, the latter is referred to as the 'dove' church.

In the 1990s, the ZCC became the largest and fastest-growing African independent church with an estimated average of six million members, who wear badges to proudly represent their denomination.

It is also stated that ZCC leaders sometimes clash with traditional healers, popularly known as sangomas.

"Despite occasional conflicts, the ZCC respects traditional African religious beliefs, especially those concerning the power of the ancestors to intercede on behalf of humans."
