Prophet Radebe founded the Revelation Church of God after receiving a calling from God to go to Ncome, South Africa. Ncome is the site of an important 1838 battle between Voortrekkers led by Andries Pretorius and Zulu warriors led by Ndlela kaSompisi under King Dingane. Ndlela made a mistake in his battle plans that allowed the Voortrekkers to defeat the Zulu forces in what became known as the Battle of Blood River. It was in this historically significant area that Prophet Radebe received instructions from God to bring the Black nation back to Him, fittingly at the place where multiple groups had submitted to the AmaHlub

December 05th is the most memorable date in the life of
Prophet Radebe, leader and founder of the Revelation Church
of God. Prophet Radebe heeds the call from the Almighty God
to go to the hills and valleys of the most unique battlefields
of Ncome, KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Ncome is located
43 km from Dundee, 24 from Nquthu and 72 km from Vryheid.
The area boosts of rich history, the gem containing the tales
of the past. The unforgettable confrontation between the
Voortrekkers and amaZulu on 16 December 1838.
The Voortrekkers fought under the skilful leadership of
Andries Pretorius while King Dingane’s impi was led by Ndlela
kaSompisi. Ncome is appealing , it holds memories not worth
forgetting, for it reminds us of the years gone that left foot
prints that still impact so much in our lives.
The place where Dingane’s vastly experienced induna
(commander) Ndlela made a mistake. He planned to follow the
Boer horsemen across the river and attack them that night,
but the distance was longer than he had anticipated and the
regiments kept getting lost in the mist. The Boer horsemen
were able to pick off the Zulu warriors lining the banks of the
river resulting in a nightmare that ran red with their blood and
henceforth called The Blood River.
It is in this place that Prophet Radebe was called upon by the
Almighty to take instructions and he was tasked to bring back
the Black nation, as they are to God. Where else could it have
been but Ncome; the place where multiple ethnic groups
submitted themselves to AmaHlubi because they saw that this
clan was well endowed with gifts.
