African Zionism

The amaZioni are found in South Africa, Eswatini, Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia.

The Zionist churches of southern Africa were founded by Petrus Louis Le Roux, an Afrikaner faith healer.

In 1903 Dowie sent a Daniel Bryant to South Africa to work alongside Le Roux.

The church works through an agency called Zion Evangelical Ministries of Africa or ZEMA.

Zionism blends traditional African beliefs with faith healing and water baptism.
