Zoe Faith pastor in court on murder charge
The news of Past Mduduzi Khoza, who heads Zoe Faith Temples International Ministries in the area as well as in KaMhlushwa, being involved in a murder case, has left the community in shock.
TONGA – This after Khoza handed himself over to police at the Tonga Police Station last Friday morning after his accomplice, Mr Mkhuliseni Ngomane, had handed himself over the previous day.
According to a media statement issued by the SAPS, this follows the death of Mr Given Sibiya (21) on June 30.
It was initially reported to be as a result of mob justice. Police allegedly arrived at the crime scene and found his lifeless body with multiple wounds.
Ngomane appeared in court on Thursday and Khoza on Friday. Both were granted R500 bail. A KaMhlushwa resident who wanted to remain anonymous said it was frightening to hear that a pastor was involved in a murder case.
“Some time last year there were talks of him being involved drug smuggling, and now this. It is scary to think that a man who claims to be a man of God could possible do such a thing,” he said.
Another resident from Tonga said she had lost all faith in the pastor.
