MATSAPHA – The Jesus Calls Worship Centre (JCWC) congregation united in prayer, worship and reflection on September 20, 2026, as the church gathered at its main branch in Matsapha to honour the life, leadership and legacy of the late Minister of Home Affairs, Her Royal Highness Pastor Princess Lindiwe.
Princess Lindiwe, who served as the Lady Bishop of Jesus Calls Worship Centre, was remembered during the special service for her faith, leadership, public service and dedication to the church and the nation.
The gathering brought together church leaders, congregants, mourners and prominent faith figures from Eswatini and South Africa, creating a solemn atmosphere of prayer, comfort and remembrance.
Award-winning gospel artist and songwriter Shekinah Motsa led the congregation in worship, ushering mourners into an atmosphere of praise and reflection as the church remembered its late Lady Bishop.
Prominent South African faith-based leader, speaker and music minister Prophetess Nomusa Ka Malinga Dhlomo also led the congregation in worship and prayer.
Dhlomo, who serves as Co-Senior Pastor of Covenant Fellowship Church International, joined the Matsapha congregation in a time of worship and spiritual reflection, adding a cross-border dimension to the service.
South African Apostle Mandlenkosi Collins Dhlomo delivered a message of encouragement, urging the congregation to confront grief through faith and move towards healing and restoration.
Dhlomo’s message centred on the call to “move over and heal”, encouraging believers to step into a new season of divine restoration.
He assured the congregation that God would empower them to move beyond pain and enter into victory, offering spiritual encouragement to mourners navigating the loss of their church leader and fellow servant.
The message came as congregants reflected on Princess Lindiwe’s contribution to the church and her wider role in public service.
Senate President Pastor Lindiwe Dlamini also offered heartfelt condolences to Their Majesties, the bereaved family, friends and the entire JCWC congregation.
Dlamini’s message honoured Princess Lindiwe’s life as one defined by unwavering faith, dedication and selfless service, while providing comfort to those mourning her passing.
Her participation added a public leadership dimension to the gathering, as the congregation reflected on the late minister’s service both within the church and in the country.
The service brought together worship, prayer and messages of encouragement, providing the JCWC family with an opportunity to mourn collectively while drawing strength from their shared faith.
The participation of faith leaders from Eswatini and South Africa further underscored the significance of the gathering, with mourners standing in solidarity with the Royal Family and the bereaved family.
For the JCWC congregation, the service was also a moment to remember Princess Lindiwe beyond her passing, reflecting on the leadership and spiritual contribution she made as the church’s Lady Bishop.
As worship continued at the Matsapha main branch, congregants were encouraged to hold onto faith and hope while remembering the values of service and dedication associated with Princess Lindiwe’s life.
The September 20 gathering therefore served as a solemn tribute to the late Pastor Princess, bringing together prayer, worship and messages of comfort as JCWC honoured her life, leadership and legacy.
