What we found
We searched for "Scriptural Holiness Restoration Church" together with Hlathikhulu, on its own, and alongside the contact email and the Shiselweni region, and we found no page, directory entry, social media profile, news item or denominational register that mentions a congregation by this name anywhere. The searches returned only unrelated material: general articles about the holiness movement (Wikipedia), similarly named but clearly different bodies such as the Church of God (Restoration) and Restored Holiness Church of God (Wikipedia, restoredholinesschurchofgod.org), and a US nonprofit called Holiness Restoration Church of God in Christ (ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer). The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.
Our conclusion: The church name and the title "Apostle" fit a small independent holiness congregation, and Hlatikulu in the Shiselweni district of Eswatini is a real town, so nothing here looks like a joke, a business or a group outside the historic Christian faith. However, an independent web search found no page, directory entry, social media profile or denominational listing for a congregation by this name anywhere, and the record lists the country as South A
We have asked this church for one piece of extra evidence: a photo, a link, its denomination, or a church that can vouch for it. The moment we can verify, this report is upgraded. Without a response, the listing is paused after 14 days.
