Controversial South African pastor, Paseka “Mboro” Motsoeneng, has reportedly been stabbed in prison just two days after being denied bail. This follows his arrest on charges related to the possession of illegal firearms, including an AK-47 rifle and pangas (large knives), allegedly captured in the hands of his church members.
The incident marks the ninth time Pastor Mboro has been arrested, raising serious concerns about his activities and influence within his religious community. His latest arrest has shocked many, as it involved not just the possession of dangerous weapons but also the potential endangerment of his congregants. The footage of his church members holding these weapons was reportedly taken during a church service, leading to widespread condemnation and a swift response from law enforcement.
Pastor Mboro’s bail application was denied due to the gravity of the charges and his previous arrests, which include a range of accusations from fraud to public disturbances. The judge presiding over the case expressed concern about Mboro’s repeated run-ins with the law, citing him as a flight risk and a potential danger to society.
The stabbing incident in the prison has sparked outrage and concern among his followers, who believe that Mboro is being unfairly targeted. On the other hand, critics argue that his behavior and the circumstances leading to his arrests have only served to further discredit his religious leadership.
Details about the stabbing remain unclear, with prison officials yet to provide a full report on the matter. However, it has been confirmed that Pastor Mboro is receiving medical treatment and is under close observation.
As the legal proceedings continue, the case against Pastor Mboro is expected to draw significant public attention, further highlighting the controversies that have long surrounded his ministry.
