Sizwe and the Kaya Drive team talk about factions in SA churches.
A faction of the Nazareth Baptist Church marched in a peaceful protest earlier this week.
Members marched because Vela Shembe was ruled the legitimate successor to the late spiritual leader Vimbeni Shembe.
The late Vela Shembe led the Thembezinhle faction and is the cousin of the late Vimbeni Shembe.
Mduduzi “Unyazi Lwezulu” Shembe who leads the Ebuhleni faction is the son of the late Vimbeni Shembe.
Mduduzi followers believe that he is the rightful successor to the spiritual leader Vimbeni Shembe.
The history of factions in churches reveals a darkness that is motivated in an effort to unite all factions and have one leader.
The International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC) is one example
It has an ongoing feud between factions for one leader to gain power.
The Kaya Drive team talks about how the Nazareth Baptist Church reportedly has over 5 million members.
“To be a leader of that many people comes with a lot of power and sometimes a lot of money,” says Sizwe.
Members vote leaders into power and the decision is not always agreeable.
