PASTORS want President Cyril Ramaphosa to lift church closures in seven working days or face court.
Pastors met at Church Square in the Tshwane CBD on Friday, 22 January under the banner Pastors Against Church closure.
They prayed under police guard before 10 of them were taken to the Union Buildings to deliver a memorandum.
Spokesman Pastor Moafrika Maila said the closure affected pastors financially, but that wasn’t the main reason for the protest.

MBORO GIVES GOVERNMENT HELL! 12 January 2021
CHURCH leaders feel as if they’re under siege from government.
This as lockdown restrictions continue to ban all types of gatherings.
President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Monday that all gatherings would remain prohibited under the adjusted level 3 lockdown.
Some church leaders are fuming, saying this is an attempt to end Christianity.
Speaking to Daily Sun, Incredible Happenings Ministry pastor, Paseka “Mboro” Motsoeneng, said churches were not consulted.
He said cinemas and taxis were not allowed to be packed without any social distancing, yet churches were not allowed to operate at all.
“This is a way to destroy Christianity. We have other religions, but we have never seen them being shot at. People are still praying in mosques but were not shot,” said Mboro.
