Khanyisa Community Church is a vibrant, cross-cultural church with a mission to bring people together from all different backgrounds.
Khanyisa finds its origins around 1990 when members of Jubilee Community Church in Observatory, Cape Town South Africa, worked together with leaders in Tambo Square. Tambo Square is an informal community located in the heart of Gugulethu. At the time, residents in this community were, amongst other things, campaigning for decent housing.
By 1994, at the dawn of democracy in South Africa, some residents moved from Tambo Square into a new settlement called Tambo Village, into their new homes. Tambo Village is on the border of Gugulethu and Manenberg and it is where Khanyisa Community Church meets.
