Johane Masowe is a name attributed to fellowship and the white garment African church. Its founding can be traced back in 1932, in the Mhondoro area, Mashonaland West province, in Zimbabwe. It was founded by Shoniwa Masedza (born 1914– died 1973), an African preacher and religious leader. The name "Johane Masowe" means "John of the Wilderness", and alludes to John the Baptist. In 1932, Masowe suffered a long illness, and was unable to speak or walk. Afterwards, he believed he had been "sent from Heaven to carry out religious work among the natives". He initially had the nickname "Sixpence".

  • Johane Masowe is a name attributed to fellowship and the white garment African church. Its founding can be traced back in 1932, in the Mhondoro area, Mashonaland West province, in Zimbabwe. It was founded by Shoniwa Masedza (born 1914– died 1973), an African preacher and religious leader. The name "Johane Masowe" means "John of the Wilderness", and alludes to John the Baptist. In 1932, Masowe suffered a long illness, and was unable to speak or walk. Afterwards, he believed he had been "sent from Heaven to carry out religious work among the natives". He initially had the nickname "Sixpence". He spent the 1930s as an itinerant preacher throughout southern Africa, and settled in Port Elizabeth in 1947. Masowe's followers eventually created several different churches. These include the Masowe weChishanu Church (weChishanu referring to observing the Sabbath on Friday), and the Gospel of God Church, which observes Sabbath on Saturdays. The term is used to describe those who follow the teachings of Masowe as well as some closely linked traditions. (en)
