FRANCISTOWN: Some members of the St John’s Apostolic Mission Church of Botswana executive leadership, is appealing against Justice Gaolapelwe Ketlogetswe’s recent ruling which restored Melittah Ndubano as the archbishop of the church.

The church also commonly known as St John has been plagued by a leadership battle ever since the death of its leader archbishop Andrew Ndubano on July 26, 2021. Melittah is the daughter of Andrew and sources close to the church say that one of her close relatives is eyeing to take over as the archbishop of the church.

In their grounds of appeal filed at the Court of Appeal (CoA), the section of the church through its attorney Mishingo Jeremiah say that court a quo erred in entering final judgment without assessing evidence. They also say that the lower court erred in finding that the appellant (Melittah) had made a case worthy of the granting of the orders that she prayed for.
