Pastor John Anosike, a 45-year-old Nigerian-born pastor leading Spirit Revelation Ecclesia (commonly abbreviated as SRE), which was established in Cape Town around 2010, is recently under fire for the acquisition of the Good Hope Centre in Cape Town. The architectural landmark was reportedly purchased for R135 million during a City of Cape Town auction.
John Anosike and His Church
“The Bondservant of Christ, John the 3rd, is sent by God in these end times to reveal the Son of God. Though his ministry may seem unusual from a human perspective, he has been divinely commissioned to train, war in the spirit, prepare, and clear the realms for the coming of the Lord.” says the SRE website. 
His church promotes the Prosperity Gospel. His financial pleas to followers are structured, including programs like First Fruit, Salary vows, US property vow and son on.
Even though Anosike lacks formal theological training or credentials, SRE’s materials outline their beliefs that financial contributions to the church can yield divine benefits.
Though a platform for donations toward the Good Hope Centre has garnered international support. Anosike’s plans for the Good Hope Centre remain unclear, as he has not publicly disclosed details beyond the announcement.
The church currently operates out of a warehouse in Maitland, while Anosike lives in lavishly in Constantia.

Controversies Over Purchase
The center, designed by Pier Luigi Nervi and currently in a state of disrepair, was sold at what some insiders considered a remarkably low price for its size and history, especially compared to smaller properties in the area.
Councillor Suzette Little raised concerns about the sale, questioning the prudence of disposing of a public asset after recent public investment and future budget commitments.
The city was initially happy about the auction’s success but later said that the bids were still undergoing vetting and due diligence, casting doubt on Anosike’s purchase claim.
