The Hawks have launched an intense search for a Durban pastor – accused of molesting congregants, some as young as 14.
Officers have confirmed they’re investigating allegations of human trafficking against the televangelist – who leads a church in Durban.
SABC’s Special Assignment carried an expose on the pastor recently in which several victims spoke of the alleged sexual abuse.
Hawks spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says investigations into the matter are ongoing.
“We are investigating cases of human trafficking with the possibility of more charges against a pastor who allegedly abused some of his congregants as young as 14-years-old. We’ll be making a breakthrough very soon. We will formally lay charges when we formally arrest him,”he said.
