MANZINI – In line with His Majesty King Mswati III’s order, the Red Gown Sect under Bishop Khanyakwezwe Vilakati is set to build its own church worth E10 million.

This was revealed by the bishop during the church’s cleansing ceremony which started with a vigil at Gege and proceeded to Manganganeni Dam for the cleansing of the about 16 000 members who attended the ceremony. He said the luxurious church would have a sitting capacity of 5 000 people.
He said initially, his church wanted to build the structure at the headquarters of the Jericho Church at Ngcoseni.

“The construction of the church came to me in the form of a vision. The Lord instructed me to construct the main church at Gege and they even showed me the area where I am supposed to build the structure.”
He said after the vision, he recalled what the King said when he intervened in the church’s impasse on who was the rightful leader to succeed the late founder of church, Melika Vilakati, between the two brothers; him and Bhekibandla.
The bishop said he found that the vision he had was in line with the King’s verdict as he said both brothers should construct their own churches and leave that of their father.

“It is in this regard that I announce to you today (Saturday night) that our church will be built here at Gege and it will be our headquarters.
“The calculations which we did after seeing the drawings of the church amount to E10 million,” the bishop told the church members.

He said there were some funds which were already in place to start the construction of the luxurious church but the main account for the project would be launched during the Easter services.
“For now, we will start purchasing some materials while waiting to clear the land as some of it is currently used as fields.

“After opening the account, the construction will start and by the end of 2018, the structure is supposed to be complete and operating,” the bishop said.
Furthermore, the bishop emphasised that the church should be constructed because they were a church which respected visions.
He said following the vision he had, everyone should accept that the church would be at Gege.
