Edward Lekganyane, popularly known as "Kgoshi Edward" (1922 – 21 October 1967), was the leader of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) from Easter Sunday, April 17, 1949, until his death eighteen years later. During this time he used his charisma and organizational abilities to expand the ZCC from about 50,000 to 600,000 members, while also reshaping numerous facets of the church. During his tenure as bishop, the ZCC emerged as South Africa's largest independent church, while Lekganyane became arguably the wealthiest and most powerful African in apartheid-era South Africa.

Edward var son till Engenas Lekganyane, grundare av Zion Christian Church (ZCC). Vid dennes död 1948 utmanade Edward sin yngre broder Joseph Lekganyane om ledarskapet för ZCC och kyrkan sprängdes i två delar, där de som följde Edward behöll dess ursprungliga namn. För att skilja denna kyrka från Josephs St Engenas Zion Christian Church har man lagt till namnet Star, efter den silverstjärna med bokstäverna ZCC som är kyrkans emblem. (sv)

- Edward Engenas Lekganyane, ursprungligen kallad Talane Reuben (o. 1923 - 21 oktober 1967) var en afrikansk kyrkoledare och grundare av ZCC (Star), den största av sionistkyrkorna i Sydafrika. Edward var son till Engenas Lekganyane, grundare av Zion Christian Church (ZCC). Vid dennes död 1948 utmanade Edward sin yngre broder Joseph Lekganyane om ledarskapet för ZCC och kyrkan sprängdes i två delar, där de som följde Edward behöll dess ursprungliga namn. För att skilja denna kyrka från Josephs St Engenas Zion Christian Church har man lagt till namnet Star, efter den silverstjärna med bokstäverna ZCC som är kyrkans emblem. 1963-66 genomgick Lekganyane en bibelskola i Turfloop, Limpopo-provinsen; Stofberg Theological School, driven av den Nederländska reformerta kyrkan. Under sin studietid fick han en förändrad syn på många teologiska frågor och planerade att reformera kyrkan, i enlighet med kristen klassisk tro. En plötslig hjärtattack i hemmet kom dock att ända såväl dessa reformplaner som Lekganyanes liv. ZCC (Star) praktiserar polygami och Edward Lekganyane hade minst 24 fruar. Edwards äldste son, Barnabas Lekganyane (vars mor han äktade 1950), efterträdde honom som ledare för kyrkan 1967. (sv)
