"THE DREAMER, THE CALLING AND THE CHURCH."

WHEN “ Lehae La Khanya Apostolic Church” opened its doors at Olivenhoutbosch, Centurion in February 2022, it was a fulfilment of a long prophecy that began many years ago deep within the village called Tsikoane , Leribe, in the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho.

Ironically it was in Leribe where the French missionary, François Coillard, founded the first Protestant Leribe Mission in Lesotho, back in 1859.

The instructions to open the church, came to Carol Motolo in a dream, a dream of which she has been wrestling with for years, after answering her calling. It was also a promise, she made to her grandfather, “Katleho Motolo” but neglected it to follow her own ambitions and not her purpose. Carol ventured into the glitz and glamour, the world of entertainment, where she was once a bubbling radio presenter and a propitious magazine publisher, aspiring to be a television presenter one day.

However,Carol Motolo was forced to put cameras,microphones, and the world of glamour, aside and become a preacher, a healer and a spiritual teacher, slowly walking on her grandfather’s footsteps, who has become her mentor even from the grave. In doing so ,she has also tapped into her great great grandmother, Mantsielo, her grandfather’s grandmother, who is the original founder of the church in Lesotho in the early 1940s. Her grandfather, Katleho Motolo, took over from his grandmother , to fulfil the prophecy and now Carol Motolo, a fourth Generation of Motolo, has taken over from him and keeping the faith and the legacy alive.

Carol Motolo knew she was special from a young age and that she has a calling. “I would often accompany and watch my grandfather, Katleho Motolo praying for people , he was so invested in me being with him while he did this so I could learn . “I would often tell him I’d never be as good as he was, so ,there was no reason for me to learn how he did things.” Their conversations were often held under a special tree that is in their family yard, back in Tsikoane village, Lesotho, where multitudes would come seeking healing & prayers.

During her teenage years ,Carol Motolo ran away from home to follow her calling, and went for initiation.
After completing her initiation, Carol Motolo decided not to follow her calling but a career as a radio presenter, magazine publisher and businesswoman but her ancestors decided to teach her a hard lesson, as everything she worked for and loved started falling apart, forcing her back to her ancestral calling . “I played ignorant to not knowing why I was loosing it all and sought help from numerous healers, hoping they would give me a different perspective, only to realize I was playing myself.”

All I needed to do was accept what was and what is and open the church as per my grandfather, Katleho Motolo’s instructions through the many dreams and communication channels i had tried hard to avoid and ignore.

In reality and through my dreams , my grandfather, Katleho Motolo, had numerously been telling Carol to follow her calling, respect it and always wear a certain garment as a sign that her work is pure and clean,as part of his legacy because he had a reputation that his work, as a spiritual figure, was noble, pure and clean.

Lehae La Khanya Apostolic Church is the extension of the original church founded by Carol’s great great grandmother, Mantsielo , in the 1940s and taken over by her grandson, Katleho Motolo, which was her transition and now Carol is keeping the legacy alive in her new church.

Carol, as young as she is, isn’t doing the amazing work alone . Everything she does is being guided by her grandfather, Katleho Motolo, through dreams and visions . “He communicates and plans my services, on what i need to do, which verses i must read and what I must wear on a particular occasion.”

The church has been a home for the homeless, spiritually wounded and those hungry for African spiritual knowledge. Carol has stood like a candle in the dark, shinning the light of hope and healing to her congregations. Lehae La Khanya Apostolic Church is the home for all.
