Bishop Dr Joseph Engenas Lekganyane, the St Engenas ZCC’s leader, and his entourage would not answer questions, despite this reporter staking out the meeting venue at the Ministry of Labour and Home Affairs offices in Gaborone. Lekganyane’s bodyguards eventually ordered the reporter to leave.
But, it is understood that his visit to Botswana on May 14 was in response to the heating up of a decades-old feud in the church, which has pitted leaders and congregants against one another. Lekganyane met President Duma Boko, Minister of Labour and Home Affairs, Pius Mokgware and representatives from both warring factions.
