The Spiritual Humanist Church of South Africa was founded in October 2012 for the initial purpose of creating a body that will be recognised at Home Affairs in order for Civil Union Marriage/ Partnership for Humanists and alike. With this body, marriage officers can apply to the Director General for permission to solemnise Civil Union Marriages. The Spiritual Humanist Church of South Africa has since been recognised with its President Wendy Kyle having being designated as a marriage officer under designation number C/U 160 and marriage officer Morne Visser C/U 410.
