About

Shembe's citadel, overlooking the Inanda Dam, is a communal establishment that sheltered the landless and disinherited during the apartheid years and is renowned as a model of black self-advancement, with a vigorous crafts-based work ethnic. Shembe ceremonies, where adherents are baptised and healed, display a great richness of nazarite attire, ritual and symbolism. The Shembe sect welcomes outsiders to attend their festivals
