Meanwhile Briefly News previously reported that Bishop Israel Makamu trended on social media following Sunday night's episode of #AmaBishop. The popular pastor was a guest on the show to talk about his recent sex scandal.
Makamu was in the spotlight recently when a recording of him allegedly asking a then 17-year-old girl for sex went viral. Makamu defended himself on the show.
He claimed that he called the girl at the time to ask for his church keys. The TV presenter claimed the reason he asked the girl if she was alone was because it would not look good for a church elder to walk into a schoolgirl's room alone.
The viewers of the show took to Twitter using the hashtag #Makamu to share their thoughts on his appearance on the programme. Many of them slammed Makamu and shared that they don't buy his story. Check out some of their comments below:

"#Amabishop is a toothless dog, when the abuser is not in studio they are 'disgusted' by the behaviour, but when a perpetrator is in studio they pity the abuser. Only Makhado was straight and called Makamu out, the rest brought tea and snacks to the pity party."
