Uige - The town of Ntaya, holy city of the Tocoists, will have, in the coming years, a mausoleum of the prophet Simão Gonçalves Toco, founder of the Church of Our Lord Jesus in Christ in the World, on July 25, 1949.

The infrastructure construction project, in the municipality of Maquela do Zombo, in the province of Uíge, was presented today, Friday, to the participants of the International Tocoist Youth Day.

The grandiose tomb will be built in an area of 2,400 square meters, will be 60 meters long, 40 meters wide and 55 meters high.

In addition to the Mausoleum, Ntaya will also have an access gate to the locality, whose works will be completed in the next 30 days.

The presentation of the project was attended by the leader of the Tocoist Church, Dom Afonso Nunes, auxiliary bishops, reverends, pastors, among other participants of the event.
