Members of the Shembe Church pray on top of Nhlangakazi Holy Mountain during the annual Nazareth Baptist Church (Shembe Church) pilgrimage near Durban, South Africa, 04 January 2018. Once a year 20,000 followers of the Shembe Church gather to walk 50km to their holly mountain to pray and enjoy the community of fellow Shembe worshipers. The founder of the church, Isaya Shembe, claimed to have had been approached by the Holy Spirit on top of Nhlangagazi more than 100 years ago and thus started the Shembe church. Seen as a mixture of Zulu tradition and Christianity, the church reveres the late Isaya Shembe as an African Messiah and emphasizes the Ten Commandments. (Photo by Kim Ludbrook/EPA/EFE)
