Police minister Bheki Cele was on Wednesday criticised for failing to listen to all parties involved in the International Pentecostal Holiness Church's (IPHC) deadly leadership battle.
“While Minister Bheki Cele committed to meet all the parties concerned as articulated in a statement issued following the visit to the Zuurbekom faction, he is yet to meet with the leadership at IPHC in Jerusalem, a month after visiting the Zuurbekom faction,” said spokesperson for the IPHC Jerusalem faction led by Michael Sandlana, priest Vusi Ndala.He said the IPHC in Zuurbekom was not representative of the IPHC in its entirety, and instead was simply a faction of the church.
A day after the deadly attack at the IPHC Silo headquarters in Zuurbekom, last month, Cele led a high-level visit and announced his intervention to end the longstanding leadership row. During that meeting, Cele assured Modise - the younger son of former church leader Glayton Modise who died in 2016 - that there would be an improved working relationship between the South African Police Service and the church.
There has been intensive conflict between the three main contenders - Glayton Modise's two sons Frederick Leonard Goitsemang and Tshepiso, and Michael Sandlana, reportedly Glayton Modise's son out of wedlock – to take over the reins of the church.
