New IPHC battles spillover to Botswana

The IPHC is headquartered in South Africa and the Botswana side was also affected after the death of IPHC leader, Bishop Glayton Modise in 2016. The battle for succession at Silo IPHC headquarters in South Africa has also been divided among the four factions here in Botswana.

Now, with information that the two warring Modise brothers, Leonard and Tshepiso have withdrawn their intention to pursue their fight for the ‘Comforter’ seat, the other legitimate son of the founder late IPHC leader, Glayton, is going all out to grab power. Michael Sandlana of the Jerusalem faction, who is apparently the half-brother to Modise’s sons, has been at loggerheads with Leonard and Tshepiso over the Silo leadership. The battle for the top seat took a dramatic turn at the Pretoria High Court a few months ago when the clashing Modise brothers reunited, withdrawing the court fight to settle the succession dispute.
