Engenas Barnabas Lekganyane (c. 1885–1948) was the founder of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC). He first formed the ZCC in 1924, and by the time of his death the church had at least 50,000 members. Under the leadership of his descendants the ZCC has gone on to have more than a million members primarily located in southern Africa. [1]
The ZCC continued under Edward's leadership, while Joseph seceded and formed the St. Engenas Zion Christian Church in 1949. The ZCC changed fairly dramatically following his son Edward Lekganyane's assumption of control of the church in April 1949.
Edward was the second-born son of Engenas Lekganyane and his senior wife, Salfina Rabodiba, and was born in Thabakgone in the Mamabolo Reserve east of Polokwane.Although his exact birth date is unknown, he is known to have been born during a smallpox epidemic that led his father to quarantine his household for some time.

Bishop Samuel Mutendi (c.1880-1976) was the founder of the Zimbabwean based Zion Christian Church (Z.C.C), which under his leadership grew to a membership of more than 250,000, [1] and is believed to have grown three or four times larger today [2] and one of the largest religious organizations in the country.
The culture of Texas is diverse, shaped by significant migration from the American North and West, differing from its eastern neighbours in the Deep South.It encompasses regional and cultural influences from German Texan, Tejanos, Cajuns, Irish, African American, and White Anglo-Southern communities established before the republic era and statehood.
Lion's organization failed to grow significantly after his expulsion. Among its more important offshoots was the Zion Christian Church, whose founder, Engenas Lekganyane, was Lion's Transvaal leader in the early 1920s.
Its core base at Wallmansthal, north of Pretoria, was too small and crowded to accommodate further growth, and so the membership was scattered. The organization seems to have been overshadowed by Engenas Lekganyane's 1925 offshoot, the Zion Christian Church, which developed into southern Africa's largest and wealthiest religious movement.
