Kgosi wants govt to halt registration of churches

Letlamoreng was supposed to table the motion yesterday but deferred it to today at the request of Minister of Labour and Home Affairs, Peter Siele.

Speaking in an interview with Mmegi yesterday afternoon, Letlamoreng would however not discuss details saying it would be unfair to the House and government to hear about its (motion) intentions through newspapers. The motion comes at a time when there is a mushrooming of churches with reports of expatriate fraudsters ripping Batswana of their hard earned cash. Many of the pastors make a quick buck and disappear after passing the baton to their kinsmen. Many of the foreign-based churches do not want to employ Batswana pastors. The Churches are also conflict ridden.
