New members of the Gauteng branch of the Nazareth Baptist Church, or Shembe, sign up at the church inland headquarters at Zuurbekom to go to the Klip River in Soweto for baptism. 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.
