International Pentecostal Holiness Church (Africa)

The International Pentecost Holiness Church (or IPHC) is one of the largest African initiated churches in Southern Africa. The church was founded in Meadowlands, Soweto, in 1962 by Frederick S Modise. The church's headquarters is at Silo in the town of Zuurbekom; visitors were encouraged to make a monthly pilgrimage to Silo and Modise.[1]

In July 2020, a hostage situation took place at an IPHC church in Zuurbekom in which five were killed.[2]
