In Africa, some churches draw criticism for blending faith with fear and secrecy. While many preach salvation, a few raise eyebrows with dark undertones.
Allegations of witchcraft and manipulation continue to haunt some religious circles. Certain leaders claim spiritual power while allegedly hiding questionable practices. Some critics say churches use fear to control believers. Others suggest rituals border on the occult.
Though these claims are rarely proven, the tension between faith and fear is real. A recent viral podcast reignited this debate. A brave woman stepped forward, linking the church with cult-like behavior and alleged dark forces.
SA Woman says ZCC is a cult with witches
A former member of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) has rocked the internet with her bold accusations. In a viral podcast, she refused to call ZCC a church, boldly labelling it a cult. She claimed to witness disturbing practices, including alleged witchcraft among leaders.
ZCC, founded in the early 1990s, has become one of Africa’s largest churches. Its leadership has remained tightly within the Mutendi family. The woman questioned whether God’s spirit only flows through this bloodline. She suggested that control and secrecy play a significant role in the church’s structure.
She also hinted at spiritual manipulation and fear-based leadership. Other followers have quietly raised concerns over strange rituals and spiritual rankings. Despite these claims, the church denies all accusations, claiming to be holy and of God..
No evidence has officially confirmed her allegations. Still, her story has reopened old questions. Is the ZCC simply misunderstood, or is there more than meets the eye?
