Botswana SDA pastor in trouble in Namibia

The Namibian Women Lawyers’ Association (NWLA) and the family of a child suffering from a protruding tongue have opened a police case against a Botswana Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) pastor and president, Kenaope Kenaope for using without permission some pictures of the aforementioned Namibian child to sell his books.

Pastor Kenaope is said to have uploaded posters with the pictures of Emilia Paulus (2) with the caption ‘Project Emilia 4 000’ on social media. The said child has been in the Namibian press recently, where her mother has been appealing for assistance to enable her to go for an operation.

Olaotse Gabasiane, the executive secretary of SDA told Mmegi in a brief interview that the church does not know anything about their leader’s alleged offences to the Namibians, further adding that the pastor went there for public evangelism. “It is news to us. We do not know that he was going to sell his books, but that he was on a public evangelism mission. I spoke to him last night and he did not share anything with me on that,” Gabasiane said.
