What we found
We searched for this church by name with its city and country and found a real, active Botswana congregation of the same name, though its public presence is centred on the village of Kgagodi rather than Palapye. A Facebook page titled "Ntlo Ya Modimo Apostolic Church, Kgagodi Botswana" has about 6,475 likes and describes the body as a religious organisation founded by the late Arch Bishop Keetshabe, a surname matching the contact email given. Botswana's government news service (dailynews.gov.bw) reports on the church in Setswana, saying it was formed in 2009 by Arch Bishop Keetshabe Mogapi and Arch Bishop Phemelo Mogapi and now has six branches nationwide, and that the Lerala/Maunatlala MP donated 50 bags of cement and P1,000 towards its building. We found no directory, map or register entry for a Palapye branch specifically, and no scam reports, complaints or warnings of any kind.
Our conclusion: An independent search found an active Facebook page titled "Ntlo Ya Modimo Apostolic Church, Kgagodi Botswana" with roughly 6,475 followers, and Botswana's government news service reports that the church was formed in 2009 by Arch Bishop Keetshabe Mogapi and Arch Bishop Phemelo Mogapi and now has six branches across the country. The contact person's surname, Mogapi, and the surname in the contact email, Keetshabe, both match the founding leaders
No further action is needed. This report is refreshed whenever the church is reviewed again.
