According to the initial post on X, magwinya alone at R3 each could bring in around R45 million, while uniforms priced at R900 were estimated to generate about R2.7 billion. Tea sales at R50 were said to reach R100 million, with badges, salt, Vaseline and other items adding tens of millions more.

Other figures included tithes estimated at R50 million, pictures at around R300 million, and manyanyatha reportedly reaching up to R1 billion. Altogether, the numbers painted a picture of billions potentially circulating during the Easter weekend, especially with millions of pilgrims expected to attend.

Moria remains one of the biggest religious gatherings in the country, drawing huge crowds for prayer, sermons and spiritual renewal. While some people questioned whether the figures were accurate or exaggerated, others pointed out that the scale of the event makes significant economic activity inevitable, even if exact amounts differ.
