Pastor Mboro to spend more days in jail as bail hearing is postponed
Self-proclaimed prophet and pastor Paseka ‘Mboro’ Motsoeneng will spend more days in jail as the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court has postponed his bail hearing.
Mboro was arrested with his son and bodyguard in August after brandishing dangerous weapons at Matsediso Primary School in Katlehong on 5 August. Mboro and his bodyguard Clement Baloyi were denied bail on 19 August due to insufficient proof to justify his release while his son was released on warning.
PASTOR MBORO’S BAIL HEARING POSTPONED
In his last court appearance, Mboro defied his lawyer’s instructions not to engage with the media during proceedings. He said believes he is being punished for his popularity while his lawyer argued that Mboro is being victimised and prejudiced.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), pastor Mboro and his co-accused face a string of charges, including kidnapping, possession of dangerous weapons and unlicensed firearms, possession of a prohibited firearm, assault by way of threat, pointing of firearms, discharging of a gun and malicious property damage.
CONFLICT ALLEGEDLY INVOLVES GRANDCHILDREN
As previously reported, the conflict between Mboro and his grandchildren’s family is over the custody of the boy learners who are enrolled at Matsediso Primary School, in Grade R and Grade 2. The dispute reportedly started after the mother of the children reportedly passed away in April this year.
