Religion plays an important part of daily life in Soweto - with high attendance at the many churches on Sundays, especially in the townships. The fastest growing denominations since the democratic elections in South Africa are known as African Affiliated Churches, where Christianity has been fused with traditional African beliefs and old cultural practices such as faith healing. The most successfully attended of these is the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) that has over 10,000 places of worship in South Africa alone. Here hymns are replaced with vibrant drumbeats, rhythmic chanting and trance like dancing. Here attendees wear colourful robes emblazoned with religious and symbols.
