What we found

We searched for the denomination and for a congregation at Boshof. The wider body clearly exists: it is listed as United Lutheran Church (South Africa), ULUCSA, under Bishop L. Mphahlele among the member churches of the Lutheran Communion in Southern Africa (safrika.org register), it runs its own site saying the church was founded in 1997 by Bishop Louis Mphahlele and registered with government in 1998 as a non-profit (unitedlutheranchurchsa.co.za), and it keeps an active Facebook page reporting congregational work. We found no directory, map, news or denominational listing for a congregation at 2112 New Extension, Boshof, and the given Gmail contact does not match the church's published addresses.

Search conclusion: weak evidence. An independent web search is part of every review; an online page alone does not prove a congregation exists.
