The NPA has confirmed that Bishop Israel Makamu was indeed arrested earlier today with charges of s.e.xual assault.
Phindi Mjonondwane said Makamu was arrested after a former employee of his church laid a complaint of s.e.xual assault on 19 May 2021 at the Brackendowns South African Police Service (SAPS).
“The case relates to an incident that allegedly happened in his church office in Alrode during September 2018,” said Phindi.

She also told Daily Sun that the case was remanded to 13 July 2021 for further investigations.
“The Palm Ridge Magistrates’ Court released Bishop Israel Makamu on R2000 bail following a brief appearance on a charge of s.e.xual assault,” said Phindi.

He just hopes that his daughter will get justice. Daily tried to contact Makamu several times but we couldn’t get hold of him.
