Phat Joe on East Coast Drive: Steven Anderson is 'The Worst Person in the World'
Updated | By East Coast Drive
Today's award simply must go to him.
American pastor, Steven Anderson, is on his way to South Africa for a 'soul-winning marathon.'
His trip has infuriated South Africans due to his extreme homophobic stance.
Anderson says, "I refuse to use the word 'gay' because gay means 'happy' [and] they're not happy, they're perverted."
He also calls Catholicism a 'false religion' and refers to it as 'hocus pocus'.
Anderson says, "I believe all gays are paedophiles."
At least 60 000 people have reportedly signed a petition to have him banned from entering the country.

Minister of Home Affairs Malusi Gigaba has allowed the pastor to enter the country, but said if he misbehaves, he will be asked to leave.
The South African Human Rights Commission as well as activists from the LGBTI community raised concerns about his visit.
What do you think? Should Anderson be allowed to enter the country?
