Worshippers clash in court over Bishop's appointment

The disgruntled worshippers whose church headquarters are in Maokatumo, have been fighting to remove their Bishop, Ogadimile Mokotedi who they say was appointed by his father, the Archbishop of the church without their approval.

The members first instituted court proceedings before Justice Lot Moroka in 2017 seeking the removal of the Bishop, whom they deemed wrongfully appointed and that this appointment was a violation of the church’s constitution. When Moroka threw out their case, the members said they may be facing an end to their litigation as the Bishop, his father and the supporters are now seeking for the church’s action to be thrown out of court.
