Pastor Mboro and co-accused remain in custody as bail hearing is postponed

Pastor Paseka ‘Mboro’ Motsoeneng, along with his son and bodyguard, is set to spend another weekend behind bars as their bail application has been postponed to August 19. The delay follows their recent arrest after a disturbing video surfaced showing them allegedly threatening teachers with a panga and a rifle at a primary school in Katlehong.

Motsoeneng and his co-accused are facing a range of serious charges, including kidnapping, assault, and the discharge of a firearm in a built-up area. The gravity of these charges has heightened public and legal scrutiny surrounding the case.

During the bail application, Pastor Mboro expressed concerns about the broader impact of his arrest, highlighting the potential fallout for his church community. He argued that the situation not only affects him personally but also threatens the livelihoods of up to 30 church employees who could lose their jobs due to the ongoing crisis, including the recent burning of his church.

The court’s decision to postpone the bail application means that Pastor Mboro and his associates will remain in custody while the legal process continues. As the case develops, the community and church members are anxiously awaiting further updates on the resolution of these serious allegations.
