Tsietsi Makiti (R), the founder and leader of Gabola church, looks on after inducting a new member into Gabola church, during a church service on Easter Sunday in Evaton, south of Johannesburg, on March 31, 2024. Tsietsi Makiti founded Gabola church to create a space for unchurched people that would ordinarily be rejected by traditional and orthodox Christian churches which frown on imbibers.
During the church service, he also spoke about the church's political ambitions ahead of South Africa's upcoming elections.
Despite the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) not including the Gabola church party on its list of parties appearing on the ballot, Makiti remained determined to gain political influence amongst his followers. (Photo by WIKUS DE WET / AFP)
