JOHANNESBURG – A South African pastor appeared to speak spontaneously during his sermon on President Cyril Ramaphosa's leadership skills. The clergyman did not hesitate to criticise the president.
Pastor slams Cyril Ramaphosa's leadership
Apostle Mohlala's sermon went viral on social media, and @MusahWarren shared it on X. In the sermon, the pastor talked about wealth and poverty. Addressing Deputy President Paul Mashatile, he said the congregants were poor people with poor skills looking for opportunities.
"Deputy president, we have government, but we don't have the right man. We need a man. Be that man for these people. When I speak about a man, I speak about someone who will give you opportunities, walk with you, and teach you that there are better things in life."
@MusahWarren's caption suggested that the sermon may have been directed at Ramaphosa.
"They will never visit Mohlala's church again. South Africa needs a man with decisive leadership skills not a puppet and proxy of WMC."
