Pastor Mboro ‘not a danger’ to Katlehong community, says defence

Paseka “Pastor Mboro” Motsoeneng’s lawyer argued that his client should be granted bail, asserting that he poses no threat to the community.

The defence contended that the state's argument claiming the accused’s release would disrupt public order lacked merit.

The bail application hearing resumed in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court on Monday after proceedings was delayed last week.Motsoeneng, along with his bodyguard Clement Baloyi and a relative who cannot be named, faces multiple charges, including kidnapping, possession of an unlicensed firearm, and assault.

He asserted that Motsoeneng’s relative had a legal right to provide care for the two children under these statutes. “The allegation is not substantiated,” he said. “It is something that the police are trying to put this court in a situation where it is in doubt.”“The people of Katlehong have been supporting and they are not against the law. Your worship, I’ve displayed to you that the allegation that the community is in danger has no substance; it has no basis.“In fact, the church is just behind the police station, it would take less than three minutes to reach the church.

The affidavit revealed that Motsoeneng has been arrested on nine separate occasions; however, those cases were later withdrawn.
