A Cape Town church where many single women are hooked up with potential husbands is currently trending on social media platforms, leaving many internet users with conflicted views.
The church videos shared on the popular video platform TikTok by user @stocksweet24, show many single women standing in front of the congregation, dressed in makoti (Xhosa newly wed) traditional attires with a doek and a scarf on their waist.
This dress code is to symbolise the kind of wives the women will be once the men take them as theirs.
One of the members of the congregation is reality TV star Vovo of the Short and Sweet fame. Apostle Mohlala is the man running the church with a massing following.
In one video, a man went to chose a wife but the woman wasn’t happy with her look, leading him to reject her for wearing earrings and looking young.

In many of his video Apostle Mohlala orders women to go buy makoti attires as he sets to rebuke the spirit of evil that block them from being taken as wives.

Internet users had so much to say after seeing the pastors videos with many commenting:
“What kind of church be this,” asked a user,
One user was keen for the apostle who travels to many cities to come to hers, commenting, “When is apostle Mohala coming to Nelspruit hle (though)?”
The videos also made it to X, (former Twitter) receiving many comments:
There is nothing interesting here. Wait until your own daughter who is 18yrs stands there in front, pointing to fictitious husbands who are not even interested to her! This is just a dating site and a poor one at that!

After all this silliness don’t forget to attend a real church with actual religious practices not this church based dating service or singles ministry?
