The church leadership says it thanks members of society, community leaders, and leaders of political parties from across all corners of the country.
The Pentecostal Holiness Church near Empangeni in Northern KwaZulu-Natal has thanked all South Africans for their support following the death of 13 of its members when a church wall collapsed on congregants during a service on Thursday evening.
Thanking President Cyril Ramaphosa, who the church had hosted in June 2018, the statement said: “We appreciate his undivided attention at this critical moment. Importantly, President Ramaphosa called on religious leaders to work together to build our nation. Leaders of political parties who have visited the church include the ANC, IFP, NFP and EFF.”
The church further thanked, particularly, the KwaZulu-Natal provincial government and several municipalities, including King Cetshwayo and Zululand district municipalities, and the Umhlathuze, Ulundi, Umlalazi, and Ndwedwe local municipalities for their speedy intervention in a time of need. Turning to the future, the church said it would work with the provincial government under the leadership of the premier Willies Mchunu to coordinate all activities “between now and the day of the funeral”.
