The Church of Scientology South Africa celebrates its 4th year anniversary in 2023 at its revamped Kyalami Castle property which it uses as its African headquarters. It reports on its accomplishments and expansion in the last 4 years of its grand opening attended by over 4,000 people ranging from members of government, community leaders, religious leaders from other faiths and senior officials from the police department.
The 87,000-square-foot castle sits on 22 acres of land and includes 12 crenellated turrets and eight-inch-thick walls. The revamped interior includes Italian marble floors mined from the same quarries used by Michelangelo, the church said.
Originally constructed in 1992 for a Greek architect and his family, the castle has gothic arched windows, more than a dozen outdoor terraces and wrought-iron chandeliers. Other features include: A classic Greek fountain; Wrought-iron chandelier; Coffered ceilings; Crafted wood moldings.
Developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is described as “a religion that offers a precise path leading to a complete and certain understanding of one’s true spiritual nature and one’s relationship to self, family, groups, mankind, all life forms, the material universe, the spiritual universe and the Supreme Being”.
Since the opening in 2019 January, the Church has received over 60 000 guests from all over South Africa who are all dedicated to working together for a better future. Castle Kyalami stands in testament to Scientology’s commitment to helping create an Africa that can fulfill its unlimited potential.
Since the ribbon was cut in January 2019. Castle Kyalami has brought its resources to the community of Africa in full scale. They have brought human rights education, drug awareness and moral regeneration to millions across the continent.
During the pandemic, the Church of Scientology extended its resources to the entire community of South and headed operations that saw them deliver relief with their Scientology Volunteer Ministers programme. They managed to Decontaminate over 70’000 public buildings including hospitals, clinics, shelters, elderly home, government building all for free to protect their country against covid. Additionally, they decontaminated over 1.3 million taxis, ambulances, buses and more in the fight against the pandemic. Their humanitarian efforts saw them garner over 800 awards and recognitions from all over the country and forged over 300 partnerships across the country to build a better society.
They have additionally just celebrated training over 20,000 South Africans from all sectors of society, on their Tools For Life Skills Development Programme, in order to equip society with practical skills to everyday problems.
This is according to Sandile Hlayisi, Spokesperson for the Church of Scientology in South Africa.
Today the building stands atop Midrand as the spiritual retreat for Scientologists and a meeting ground for cooperative efforts for a better South Africa and includes an expansive state-of-the-art auditorium, a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating for more than 200, a café, a swimming pool and a braai-equipped gazebo.
While Kyalami Castle acts as the African headquarters for Scientology, the church has a number of properties across the country from Gauteng, Cape Town, Durban, Gqeberha and plans to expand even further into Africa.
