Durban pastor's first court appearance
Members from both the ANC Women's League and the EFF are protesting outside the Port Elizabeth Magistrate's Court where a pastor who heads a church in Durban is expected to make his first appearance on human trafficking charges.
Listen to the full bulletin below.
The Nigerian pastor was arrested yesterday at the Port Elizabeth Airport by the Hawks and police's tactical response unit.
The televangelist allegedly molested congregants - some as young as 14-years-old. The Hawks say additional charges could be added as investigations are ongoing.
The pastor first came to light on the SABC's Special Assignment where a number of the victims spoke of the alleged sexual abuse.
The ANC Women's League's Buyelwa Mafaya says he should not be granted bail.
"A man who is calling himself a man of God - a Christian doing things that are so inhumane - we are saying today there will be no bail for him," he said.
