ZCC members during one of their leader's visit

Negotiations between members of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) and their leaders collapsed after failure to agree on certain terms. Yesterday, the members mostly from the Tlokweng branch who have been at odds with their leaders, including Bishop Barnabas Lekganyane, appeared before Gaborone High Court, Justice Michael Mothobi, following the church’s proposal for an out of court settlement.

The church had proposed that the members give it a year, to appoint the minister and other structures within the church but the members differed, saying they wanted a six-month period for the appointment of a minister.

After several attempts by the judge to get the two parties to reach a settlement that would allow a consent order, the church refused. This led to the collapse of proposed talks.
