This was after the storm destroyed many homes in the country and left over 120 people homeless, according to an assessment report issued by the National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA).
The pastor of the church situated at KaBhudla under Mafutseni Inkhundla, elaborated that the destruction happened in the twinkling of an eye and this was before they attended their evening service.

“Everything happened so fast but the destruction was huge. Chairs, three speakers and windows were damaged,” said Gamedze.

He further mentioned that the damaged church building was not far from new as they had erected the church structure two years ago.

When narrating the incident, the pastor was heavy-hearted as he described that the wind swept away the rafters of the church and brought down the walls.
Gamedze said the loss incurred amounted to E13 000. Only one person was affected but did not sustain injuries.
Currently, the congregants have built a temporary church structure. Gamedze said they used corrugated iron sheets for the small building and that was where they held church services.

He said they were to meet as a church and discuss plans to raise funds for a new structure.
Gamedze also requested the public to assist in any way they could towards the building of the church structure.
Despite the horrendous destruction on the building, the pastor expressed his gratitude for no loss of lives. Gamedze thanked God for the protection of his church members and that no one was severely injured from the smash up.
