These pastors have put the Christian faith in disrepute!

Pope Tsietsi Makiti of the Gobola Church of All Nations, based at Orange Farm, was arrested in 2020 for allegedly breaking the COVID-19 lockdown regulations.

Every member of his church is required to drink beer. In this church, only drunkards are welcome.

During his interview with News Afrika’s Thabo Mdluli, Makiti argued:

“At Gabola Church, you bring the liquor of your choice and the pastor will bless the liquor so that it will not be poisonous. We connect with God by drinking beer.

“Our church, which is guided by the Holy Spirit and ancestors, is here to stay.

“You’re telling us not to touch alcohol when you’re disinfecting your hands with alcohol… that’s a big contradiction.”
