Thousands converge on Moria for annual September prayers: Katlego Nyoni reports

With the start of Spring, ZCC members are expected to converge on Moria in Limpopo to mark the beginning of "the new year". The church marks the new season with September prayers.

Traffic is expected to peak as church members mark the occasion; ZCC Spokesperson Moatshe Ngoepe says they're expecting a high number of buses.

Ngoepe says that private vehicles and informal trading will not be allowed near the vicinity of Moria and says the precautions have been taken in the interest of public safety.

The church says they are necessary to protect worshippers and other road users, and to maintain order during the period of the gathering.
