Rejoice Township Style

About Rejoice Township Style

All cultures are welcome to be anointed in the local township communities of Kayamandi, Stellenbosch or Langa, Cape Town. Take a gospel tour that starts with a blessing and ends over a glass of home-made ginger beer.

A walking tour of the casual streets and shops serves as the first verse of the day and a testament to humble happiness. Here jubilant congregations and choirs give spirited praise in an audience of multi-faithed visitors seated in polished pews. Receive a charismatic course on the religious and musical celebrations of the African culture. Unbreakable faith dressed in the vivid colours of African robes dances with messages from the good book on this gospel safari; a show of sorts of South African spirituality and indigenous worship of an omnipresent belief system. Practising the welcome that is preached from their pulpits, open hearts of disadvantaged dwellings open their homes to guests and their souls to hymns.

Beyond the spiritual symbolism, rural churches united the oppressed of the passed Apartheid era and freed the unprejudiced rights of all God's children that ultimately freed the lives of all of South Africa's people.

Finally Mama Shumi, the mother of a priest, boils water for a cup of tea and a tale of township miracles. Stories are shared of street biblical lessons and rustic prayer; traditional lunch is served; God bless Africa; Amen.
