Ballito, on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, is the chosen location for a chapter of the country’s first Satanic church and will be fully functional by September.
The main church, in Century City, Cape Town, founded in February by Reverend Riaan Swiegelaar and Dr Adri Norton, came under the spotlight this week. While there has been criticism, the co-founders believe “they are clearly doing something right”.
“There is no worship in Satanism and we do not believe in the Devil or Satan as a being that exists. Unfortunately, many people will hold these misconceptions as truth as they fear questioning their own beliefs regarding Satanism will lead to damnation.” Norton said the pair chose to register an official organisation to promote and educate on legitimate Satanism.
“We do, however, know that in a few years time we will most certainly see more acceptance of Satanists, because of the ground our church is breaking currently.”
