Home Affairs to inspect foreign church leaders

Home Affairs to inspect foreign church leaders. Home Affairs Minister Siyabonga Cwele said the move shouldn’t be interpreted as xenophobic, but the protection of residents from pastors who want to make money through crooked means.

Home Affairs is going to review the documents of church leaders living in South Africa. The department wants to protect residents from tsotsi preachers who @buse them. Hlomane Chauke, chairman of the committee on Home Affairs, said he agreed with the minister.

He said people allowed into the country with certain documents must only do what those papers permitted. Cwele said they will investigate whether some church leaders’ documents were in order.

“We’ve asked the department to review their status because if they have come here saying they are going to open a factory, they can’t open a church.

In South Africa, a church is not a business. “These are the things the department is looking at,” Cwele said. Chauke said part of the problem was that the system allowed crooks into the country.
