The church is one of the biggest components of community identity in Raithby. Below is a written account of the “interkerklikse gebedskring” (inter-church prayer circle) provided by Mrs Hetta Gordon.
Songezo Lupondo’s home formed part of the Kayamandi Creative District (KCD) project, where local homes were transformed into art galleries or house museums where local artists’ work was displayed.
St. John’s Anglican Church is one of the oldest churches in Kayamandi and is located in the first established neighbourhood within the community, called “Lokasie”.
