Kwasizabantu
Kwasizabantu (also KwaSizabantu, Kwa Sizabantu, KSB) is an organization, originating in South Africa, but also active in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Romania and Australia. Other organisations which started out of the work at KwaSizabantu are Christians for Truth, Cedar College of Education and Domino Servite School.
History
Kwasizabantu was founded by Erlo Stegen (born 1935 near Durban), an active missionary among the Zulu population of Natal starting in 1954. In 1966-67, Stegen's efforts culminated in triggering mass conversions, accompanied by miraculous healings. In 1971, its base was established at a place called Kwa Sizabantu (Zulu for "place of help for people," or "place where people get helped,"). This became the movement's eponym.
On 12 August 2006, Kwasizabantu Mission officially opened the Emseni Care Center (meaning "place of grace"). The first stage of the complex has been completed and can accommodate about 20 HIV and AIDS patients as well as full-time staff. The Kwasizabantu Mission also houses the water factory aQuellé[1] as well as several other non-profit initiatives including Christians for Truth, Radio Kwezi 107.7, Peppers and Avocados for Woolworths, Spar, Fruit 'n' Veg and the Bon lé dairy. They also have a bakery and a convenience store.
The director of the Kwasizabantu Mission in Kranskop, the Reverend Erlo Hartwig Stegen, was named co-recipient of a major international award — the Robert W. Pierce Award for Christian Service — by World Vision International on 9 December 2007.[2][3]
