Kwa Mashu

People who know S.Africa...
Does anyone know anything about KWA MASHU?
I know it's a township just North of Durban.
But the word keeps coming into my head randomly so it's becoming interesting to me...

Will go there someday, but is it famous for something?
Is there an amazing church there?
Is that where my future husband is currently abiding?!?!

Only time will tell...

    KwaMushu; you don't want to go there, it is the most dangerous village in the province, infamous for the blacks necklacing each other. 4 tourists were killed there two years ago. The voices in your head are telling you to stay away.

    Be safe not foolish.

    You do know what necklacing is?

    Yes, I know it's a particularly horrible form of death.

    But your description of the place confirms it's a key place for prayer focus. We must pray for transformation there, for God's love to break through and change hearts, lives and situations and for Him to take all that has gone on there and to turn it around. It's a key town in bringing hope to KwaZulu Natal. It's very exciting and a good place to start!

    God's not telling me to stay away, but to pray!
