Local pastor orders church members to hurry up and pay R1 000 contribution
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported on a local social media user is urging her followers to catch a wake-up call and avoid paying exorbitant money to church leaders. In a video that is going viral, one pastor can be seen and heard shouting instructions to local men.
The guys are forced to stand in front of the congregation as they do not have the cash to contribute to the church. The pastor tells them to go to the other side and use the card machine to pay.
Looking at the clip, the pastor speaks in isiZulu and says the guys should make it quick and pay their R1 000 contributions and bring their cash receipts. Money can also be seen on the floor as the pastor stands on it.
