CHRISTIANS warned that Satan may take over Mzansi (South Africa) in a protest march through Joburg yesterday!
This is because Metro cops have forced some tent churches to pack up, and one church in Chiawelo, Soweto was temporarily closed.
This is after residents complained for years about the constant loud praying, singing, dancing and preaching from Unity Fellowship Church.
They said they couldn’t sleep and the church didn’t respect their need for peace.
Last month, Metro cops raided the church and took 1 200 chairs from it. The church has to pay a fine of R2 370 to get them back.
If the noise continues, cops warned they’ll take further action. The hundreds who marched through Joburg’s streets were on their way to hand over a memorandum to Mayor Parks Tau’s office.
Director of Unity Fellowship Church, Dr Theophilus Mukhuba said: “The government must stop sending police to churches where they abuse Christians only for praying to their creator. All we’re asking for is to have peace when praising our creator, God.”
Executive member of the Soweto Ministries Fraternity, Pastor Timothy Setilo said: “The government undermines the churches. They remove church tents and raid others. When residents report noisy taverns to the cops, nothing happens.”
Among their demands was that land should be provided for churches to be built. Reverend Khumbu Magudulela received the memorandum on behalf of the mayor and said they’d reply.
