The Department of Home Affairs, of South Africa, is set to take a hard look at high-flying
foreign pastors, men of God, and prophets, who have moved to South Africa to run lucrative
ministries, and miracle performing churches.
Home Affairs Minister, Seyar-bonga Tse-welle, says his department is considering a review
of their status, as permanent residents.
These foreign men of God, are also facing closer scrutiny from the South African Revenue
Service.
Additionally, the African National Congress, has called for rogue religious leaders to
be investigated by the Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of
Cultural Religious and Linguistic Communities.
… The Home Affairs minister, told Parliament’s
Home Affairs Portfolio Committee, that becoming a permanent resident of South Africa involves
certain conditions that must be met.
“There are many of these things in the public eye, like these priests who come from foreign
countries to do work here.
We’ve asked the department to review their status.
Because if you come here, you say you’re coming to run a factory, there’s no factory
called a church.”
… The minister says, it’s not about being
against people from other countries.
“Quite clearly, we are not xenophobic, but if you come to our country, under certain
conditions, you must stick to those conditions.”

residency in South Africa in 2016, which meant he was allowed to open his own church.
However, his -E-C-G- Church had been operational since 2012.
