Description
KwaZulu-Natal. Church elders at the top of the flat-topped mountain Nhlangakazi after over a 100,000 pilgrims of the Nazareth Baptist Church, or Shembe, walked for three days, barefoot, to the holy mountain Nhlangakazi. Shembe is a staunchly traditionalist Zulu cult that was founded in 1913 by Isaiah Shembe after a vision. Their beliefs are a mix of Old and New Testament and the ancestral veneration of traditional Zulu culture.
