JL Zwane Memorial Church

Every Sunday the JL Zwane Memorial Church family listens to the preaching of the word of God and the centre provides space for them to live it out. In partnership with other communities, faith based organizations, non-profits and committed individuals in South Africa and throughout the world, the centre provides a range of services to everyone in the local community, focusing in particular on preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS, Care and support, Nutrition, Hospice and an After-School study programme.

The JL Zwane Centre, named after its founding pastor and located in the heart of a poor, underprivileged township of Guguletu outside Cape Town, was established as a joint venture between the Guguletu community, the JL Zwane Memorial Church family and the Department of Industrial Psychology at the University of Stellenbosch in 1994, to provide space for people to meet people and share skills necessary for people growth and development.
